How many bikes can you make from a hummerI hope this Comm major is enlightened in this interaction.buton the other hand does it mater how we get them out of the car and on to the bikea good deal of the lemmings in cars didn't make the choice to drivefrom their point of view they had no options cars were just what people do tosurvive. The times are only going to make it harder for us and better in the long runfor our movement. In Los Angeles " fixed gear hipsters" are every where or so i am toldwhen i see someone on a bike, fixed or not, i see one less car.If it becomes chic to use bicycles we win!If style mavens every where identify with bicycles we win!stillI would be inclined not to be interviewed by this guywe have a long way to go.Jim
