=\= I know that it's possible to get a bike whose frame is made
in the United States.  Most worthwhile components are made
overseas (mostly in Japan).

=\= Even so, given how much less a bike costs than a car, the
amount sent overseas will also be much less, yielding this
improvement in the trade deficit.

=\= Also consider the reduced reliance on foreign petroleum.
