Biking is good all around. It saves you money with the lack of gas needed to ride a bike, it gets you in better shape and benifits your health, and a bike is just more fun to ride then a car. Even if you are a hard core conservative you still can agree that not using gas is good for the environment. |

I picture him tearfully hugging the hood of his 440 Charger[*] and proclaiming: "I'll never leave you! 'Til the end of time! You 'n me!" DonQui just said he was quitting riding his bike 'cuz he couldn't hack it. But apparently he still fancies himself as some sort of lyric, all-talk/no-walk revolutionary/****-disturber who wants other people to do his "revolution" for him. Heeyargg!!!! If I had a Charger I would probably hug it though. The Revolution will in fact be televised. So Mr. Donk can watch it from the comfort of his living room. |

You said you were quitting riding so you are no longer part of the "we" here- unless your "we" is restricted to spammers in which case you *are* discriminated against and rightly so.

What American Cities are Missing: Bikes by the Thousands
In article .net,
"George Conklin" wrote: "donquijote1954" wrote in message oups.com... Will we ever see the day when American cities have thousands of cyclists going up and down the street without unnecessary risks? Go to India to fulfill your dream. They do that now. You can even lock your bicycle up at the train station and let it sit in the rain all day for a few cents. http://media.wweek.com/attach/2007/0..._LedeChart.pdf While not a huge percentage, the number of people who commute by bike in Portland and Seattle (compiled from census data) are large enough to show up in the data. And considering what I know of the way people drive in India, I'm not sure that his request for "unnecessary risks" are met there either. Cars running stop signs and running over bicyclists seems to be a particular problem in Portland these days. There was a time not too long ago when people actually paid attention to their driving here. That isn't the case any more. At least here you can put your bike in a covered bike locker (for considerably more than a few cents a day). -- -Glennl The despammed service works OK, but unfortunately now the spammers grab addresses for use as "from" address too! e-mail hint: add 1 to quantity after gl to get 4317. |
