Bicycling is a big part of the future. It has to be. There’s something wrong with a society that drives a car to workout in a gym.

It’s like the French tricolor in reverse!
I guess it is. I have another version too..
I biked to our polling place this morning before it opened. I was pleased, but surprised, that my wife had unfolded our Dahon Classic III and rode it over to the polling place this afternoon. She didn’t want to drive, and she didn’t want to walk. It was a beautiful day (low 70s) for a ride. Best part was taking up a parking spot next to a motorcycle and the looks I got from some people when I pulled up.
