Since when does bicycling require a certain politics? The left does not
become sensible because you happen to like riding. Spare me the press
releases claiming to speak for me.

On birds, you may notice that there are birds out there. Did you know
you can identify them by sound? You don't even have to see them. It
takes no time from what you're doing already, and if you commute by bike
it's interesting.

Another thing you can do is learn weeds. A lot of them too! You identify
them when they bloom, when they become wildflowers instead of weeds.
I recommend Newcomb's Wildflower Guide, which has a foolproof system for
finding them.

There's two things you can do that are worthwhile, and no bogus claim is made
about speaking for others.

I rather enjoy Ron's insights, observations and perspectives.
They help me drop my prejudices and presumptions, and look
at things from new angles.

It's sort of a Buckminster Fuller-ish thing.

cheers,
Tom
