That's killer.<BR/><BR/>And what you say about acknowledging other cyclists...well, that's right on the money and a topic I've been planning on blogging about. Heck, I just might do it tonight!jill hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10977714884652079464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700427765172131475.post-46854345178906454922007-04-23T21:49:00.000-07:002007-04-23T21:49:00.000-07:00I agree with Tim, but I also think it has to happe...I agree with Tim, but I also think it has to happen on a grassroots level. I have passed along the bug of riding to work rather than driving to over 20 people in the last 3 years (20 might not sound like a lot but it is huge in my book + who knows how many bugs those 20 people have passed along). I feel that we need to keep riding our bikes and be advoates in our generousity, freindliness, and healthiness. If we make cycling look easy and stylish then it is easy to pursuade our co-workers, and freinds to ride. It's these small groups that will help spread the bug/obsession. <BR/><BR/>So, acknowlegde that other cyclist waiting at the light with you - it will help them validate what they are doing is a good thing and hopefully that validation will start a chain reaction of spreading the word that bikes will always win and they are pretty damn fun to ride too.<BR/><BR/>Of course I could go on about this but I am only commenting so hopefully this makes some sense.<BR/><BR/>Cheers - I am glad people are thinking!BF kemyooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00518316000445907924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700427765172131475.post-9390893060368403982007-04-23T11:42:00.000-07:002007-04-23T11:42:00.000-07:00Lance Armstrong, Subaru spokesman, riding in suppo...Lance Armstrong, Subaru spokesman, riding in support of a weeklong car ban...ah, the hypocrisy!<BR/><BR/>Otherwise, a great idea; one that DC could take a page from.Blue-eyed Devilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07930904604812639323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700427765172131475.post-46330629768638360962007-04-23T08:04:00.000-07:002007-04-23T08:04:00.000-07:00Jill,Devising a viable 'green' solution these past...Jill,<BR/>Devising a viable 'green' solution these past twenty-four (24) months.<BR/>Ponder an affordable 'novel' multiple passenger vehicle.<BR/>Quite upset with Mr. Friedman's comment about 'green' Nuclear (fission) energy.
