Gold, as in gold coins, and cycling have a lot more in common than you would think. Simplicity is the key to understanding both.
Gold is a great regulator and stabilizer. It imposes a discipline born of nature.
Man cannot complicate gold out of it's role as the worlds only real money, your property with no counter party liability attached. A true liquidator of debt that no government can default on.
A cycle is much the same, a truly efficient simple form of personal transport. Honest and rewarding. No faking it here. You can try to complicate the machine but inevitably efficiency and or durability are compromised.
If you want to clear your head and have a good ponder nothing beats a decent cycle.
In contrast to this is the modern fiat (paper/electronic) monetary system and the car (cage).
No more a complex and dysfunctional system has ever existed. A completely wild and unstable monetary system. Interest rates up, up ,up....oops...down,down,down...oops....
Sitting in your 1500kg cage going nowhere fast listening to all the "green shoots" diarrhea, and wondering where all the money for yet more roading is going to come from.
Cheers, goldcyclist.
