I though I had replied to this already but I see I haven't.

I am absolutely appalled at your "friend's" behaviour. I hope you kicked her ass out the door and halfway to Colorado.

I am honestly not sure what I would have done in that situation. Perhaps suggest that, since bicycles are cheaper to run than cars and better for the environment, that she sell hers and donate the money to Greenpeace. Or that since she could survive on very simple fare, she should donate most of the food in her house to a food bank. (The list goes on.)

The absolute gall of that woman just drops my jaw, truly.
