I make sure I tell people about how traffic jams and parking are non-issues.<br /><br />I have found that my persuasiveness in getting people to ride is directly proportional to gas prices.Rob Sayershttp://www.velobration.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14852171.post-3568176475236489662009-11-04T09:49:33.526-07:002009-11-04T09:49:33.526-07:00Right on!

It makes us all sound like freakin' health nuts (which some of us are), but it does turn off the general population of anti-exercise couch potatoes.<br /><br />Maybe a more health-conscious population in general would turn to biking as a fun alternative to getting to work, but until then, let's market it as shexy!!Reesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08005673337668935395noreply@blogger.com
