CBS Sunday Morning: Pedal Power
This is the best piece I’ve seen on cycling to come out of the national media. It’s well worth a watch.

My mother and I have a difference of opinion. She thinks I should go see a shrink; I think I should buy a new bike.

Wonderful, but that giant sun riding a bike at the end was extremely creepy.
I agree with Thom about the giant sun, LOL. How did you get the embedding code? I would like to put it in my blog too.

You have an e-mail..

Thank you very much!!
I can’t help but think that this should be a network PSA, or segmented into several!
It was a wonderful celebration of the experience of the cycling lifestyle, with only minimal address of the legal issues involved in street riding (both a good thing — not heavy-handed — and a bad thing — needs to be put out more).
This report could do as much, or more, as anything else out there today to sway more people to pedaling. I LOVE IT!!
Brilliant! Beautiful!! Inspiring!!!
Gotta ride…off to the Farmer’s Market and shopping. Life is Good.
