The air up there

In response to David's post, which I (Leo) sincerely appreciate, I ask him to ride his bike to work. About two weeks ago we here in the washington area (DC that is) had the annual bike to work day. It made me wonder, why do we only have one day?
Perhaps it can be like Hannuka, with 8 crazy nights (always have a flashy red light and helmet while riding at night). I love riding to work. Sometimes its my only escape for the day, and almost always my only exercise.
I recently read an article about urban cyclists and how there are many groups that aggressively pursue more bike friendly roads, laws, etc. We should support these hippies and tree huggers, for, as David said bikes are a great way to get around and good for the environment.
There is only one problem. Now that three of us in MHDC have bikes, our first floor is getting jam packed with cycles. Not only have I decided to make David cycle to work (because I will do it too), but I have decided he must trade in his BIcycle for a UNIcycle. That would be quite a sight!
Now, my friends, I must put on my helmet, my too tight bike shorts and go. Have a great weekend!
