I bought a road bike from Walmart yesterday. It saves me a lot of energy when you paddle the cycle…I biked to Kennmore City Park or Tracy Owen Park and back within 1 hour. The whole length of the trip is 14 miles.
Comparing biking in China and America yields some drastic difference, in China, almost every big artery has a biking lane and the biking lane is almost the same width as the car lane. It is very natural and comfortable to bike everywhere. In America, biking is mainly for fitness purpose, it is less popular. But bikes in America are way more sophasticated than their counterpartners in China. Because their bikes are targeted at those white colars, the bikes are pretty pricy. A moderate road bike can easily cost 1000 us$. This one is made in China, so it is much cheaper and many American probably won’t buy just because the price makes the bikes un-authenticated. They just do not trust it. I take advantage of my multi-culture background on this. I know the cost of a bike could be quite low, in China, 500RMB which is about 50$ could already buy a decent bike. There is and will be huge amount of profit just be trading between US and China.

我问他到底有什么好。他说他们的生活方式很liberal.然后就欲言又止,让我琢磨了半天还是没有明白。后来上网查了查,发现所谓的libera arts就是说教育的重点是广义的智慧而不是什么特殊专业技能。比如说,如何和人探讨人生,争论哲学问题啊。他们在学校头两年得学大量的古罗马,古希腊,古犹太人的历史,可能还得学一些现代妇女,黑人运动,中国字画的东西。通过和同学讨论这些问题学习解决问题之道.
还有就是,这些学校对毒品比较宽松,只要你不要乱搞到警察局,FBI的头上,他的学校就不会干预.
我觉得中国的大学也应该有这样一些的设置,比如说大学一年级不是去军训,而是去辩论三国,史记,资治通鉴,讨论美国历史,抗日战争的历史,中国的学生运动,中国现代的政治经济,欧洲的艺术历史,都会增加思辨的能力. 这样思路才能开阔,整天比GPA,其实没有什么意思.
