Now, I'm more likely to go out of my way not to antagonize someone driving a pickup truck with a tire iron in the back. I like my head the shape it is, thank you.

I always had Schwinn envy. I rode a standard bike, a Huffy sting ray, a Sears (orange!) 10-speed, and then an ATV that I used to ride 18 miles to work (from Sellwood to Cedar Hills). I used to occasionally ride my Sears 10 speed from Metzger (think Washington Square) to Tigard High - and occasionally out to my friend's house in South Hillsboro, off River Rd. The funny thing, I too had a freon horn. This skinny kid got ran off of Washington County's narrow roads too often. No shoulders, no bike lane - I loved my horn!
