1) merrily getting to where they're going without spending
a ton of gas money and other car-related expenses

2) becoming healthier & happier

3) demonstrating to other people that freedom from cars
is not only possible but also often preferable

4) reminding drivers that the streets aren't exclusive
to motor vehicles

5) getting your goat

White jelly beans have a right to exist, too. They're the same
size, shape & texture as the yellow ones.

cheers,
Tom

Black cycling clothing is the new 'image for a dork' - Right up there
with riding on the wrong side of the road.

ThirdEye mirror that clips onto your eye-shield - Works great, and
available at mass-market bike shops. I have several ones for
redundancy.
