Poor biking picture in Business Week Magazine
Business Week magazine had a photo that illustrated the high price of
gasoline. In the photo the "father" was riding a bike with his daughter sitting on the crossbar, and the father was riding with one hand while talking on a cell phone. Of course neither were wearing helmets. The photo almost appeared staged. If the photo was staged then Business Week is not a news magazine. Anyway why would a sophisticed magazine have a picture like this? Tom |

Tom What's a "sophisticed" magazine? As long as there weren't too many chickens on the handlebars, I can't see why such hysteria is warranted on your part. Calm yourself with a smoked eel of some sort. |

Tom I see the picture as purely symbolic. Maybe the picture supposed to show, realistically, the levels people stoop to because of gasoline prices? Cullen |

The photo almost appeared staged. If the photo was staged then Business Week is not a news magazine. Anyway why would a sophisticed magazine have a picture like this? I dunno. But any publicity is good publicity. For pre-pubescent kids, nothing beats a NorthRoads handlebar for comfortably sittin'-on when riding double. Unless the kid is a heavyweight chunker with the mass & density of a neutron star. Anyways, it's more comfortable than sitting side-saddle on the top tube. I daresay, in some ways it's a good introduction for youngsters toward acquiring the feel of riding a bike, sitting up there on the handlebar and heeding your older brother's admontion to lean where the bike leans. It works much better than training wheels, and in fact obviates any need for them. I realize it goes against the grain of many (especially the legalistic sorts,) but I think one of the best ways to learn to ride a bicycle is to first be a bicycle passenger. Yeah, riding double is supposedly unsafe, certainly unlawful, and yadda yadda yadda. /Anything/ can be accomplished, with due and intelligent application of care. I don't think I've ever read a Business Week. I'm having trouble enough finding The Sporting News. And trouble enough avoiding The Racing News. cheers, Tom -- Nothing is safe from me.
