Gregory, You are absolutely spot on with your
views of the benefits of cycling. It is truly time for
a change in American transportation, but the vested
interests in the petro-chemical industries (poisoners for
short) don't like the thought of losing their big
mansions, jets, and Rolls. They have good reason to be
frightened! It is truly going to be up to people like you and
I to lead the revolution by example. We need to
show people by our very acts that bicycling is a
clean, healthy and cost effective alternative form of
transportation. Now, I am very curious to know what kind of
conditions you encounter while bike riding in LA and it's
surrounding suburbia? #1 question, is it safe? How's the
weather? Do you have good bike lanes/sidewalks or trails?
Please let us know. Thanks!
