Treadly and Me

"Cup of coffee in hand, I realize that it's true what they say: Bicycles Rule in the Netherlands." --Eric, Downwind of Amsterdam.

It's often been said that if you have two cyclists travelling in the same direction, then you have a race. Maybe, but not if I'm one of the cyclists. I just don't give a shit. On the rare occasions that I'm in the mood for competition, the only person I'm interested in getting the better of is myself.

"Cycling is an activity in and of itself, regardless of where you end up, or whether you break a sweat." --Happy Woman Magazine

There's something I want the Bureau of Meteorology to investigate...

"After years of federal and local spending on bike routes and other amenities, most cities are ready to handle more cyclists. But many motorists simply don't see their two-wheeled brethren or, when they do, find them aggravating. Managing more cyclists is going to take more than new bike paths or fresh stripes on the roads. It looks as though there is a need, on both sides, for a revolution in manners." --The Economist
