Pollute to Work Week!! - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

This arrived in my mail box on Monday:

Well we finally got that Bike Week nonsense out of the way, now we can
get back to the business of destroying the environment. So until Bike
Week comes around again in the Fall, every week is Pollute to Work Week!
That's right, it's time to empty the ash tray, throw out the fast
food wrappers, slap some fresh CDs in the changer, clean the windshield
and go spew some hydrocarbons. We've got a world to ruin and with out
your help it just won't happen. Call everyone in your carpool and tell
'em from now on it's just you and your Edsel. Go buy some gas, grab an
Egg Mc Muffin and run over the neighbor's Kitty. Maybe even take the
back roads and you could squash a possum. Somebody's gotta do it and it
might as well be you. I know I can count on you. Don't even try to
imagine what this place would be like if you fail to drive everywhere.
Now I know that despite my prodding to "Drive and Drive Often" some
of you will fail. Some will continue to ride. Some of you will have been
fooled by all that Fun, Fitness, and Concern for the Environment
propaganda you were subjected to last week. You probably thought it all
made such good sense. You might have even enjoyed riding you 2 wheeler.
Bunch of tree hugging ninnies! If you are in that group here are some
activities that may appeal to you:

See you in the Bike Lane
