Ah, if only the world worked that way. You see, most people who know that a
bike has a cassette also already own a bike. I'm not that familiar with
bike shop economics, but I'm betting they make lots of money off of selling
bikes to people that don't already have a bike. I suspect if they limited
their customers to those that could pass a "name that part" test first they
would all go bankrupt. I don't think Mike meant to make his shop sound like
it was only open to the bicycle elite that know some bikes have parts called
cassettes. That's why I was surprised it was written that way.
