So with that in mind, I’m guessing you’ll be seeing more people with funny head gear and spandex suits moving down the sides of the road. That’s right, I’m talking about bicycles.
For years your co-workers have been saying how much better it would be if “we would all commute to work by bike. It’s healthier. It saves the planet. It’s more f…” and you would tune out while they gab on about how amazing they are. You’d be thinking how delicious your bagel was. Maybe nod your head to the talker and mutter an “um hhm” to show that, no, you really are paying attention.
But, alas, they were right (well, maybe not about being amazing, but at least about being healthier and doing their part for the environment). And now that the gas pump meter spins like a slot machine every time you fill up, you are thinking that riding a bike more often seems like a pretty good idea. After all, there is that old thing in the corner of your garage. It may take some fixing, but you’re handy. And who would not look cool riding this beauty into the parking lot?
Answer: no one.
