ass, cash or grass - nobody rides for free

If you're looking for a good used bike, or any bicycle accessories, I recommend Budget Bicycle Center (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=Madison+Budget+Bicycle&oe=UTF-8&ie=UTF8&cd=1&ll=43.068606,-89.400001&spn=0.015017,0.039997&z=15)

I found myself there on sunday to get a good used bike for the summer. $250 USD for a steed of steel and rubber. Onto the visa that one goes. gf asks if the exchange rate is going to be okay on the visa. I explain that I don't care much because we're so close to parity.

The clerk, helpful chap that he was, says "Pardon my ignorance, what kind of money do you guys have up there? Do you have the Euro?"
