Biking


So I have been biking everywhere lately. Other than an obligatory trip to Connecticut, I haven't used my car in close to a month. It is freeing. I love it. Yes, it is a very white person thing to do.

I read this great article about the stigma of those that cycle in this country.

Cycling is unfairly labelled as an elitist thing. If properly reintroduced as something for the common man, it can have a profound effect on how we commute, how we save energy, and how we exercise.

I say we all ditch our cars and keep the biking alive. Grant it, I sweat like a fiend and have horrible pit stains at work, but the kids will have to deal.
