One thing that has truly galled me is that -- very much unlike the oil embargo brouhaha in the early 70's -- the media has focused on "corporate solutions" to the fossil fuel problem. Remember all those little blurbs on saving energy by adjusting thermostats or adding insulation or... yea, that's right, RIDING A BIKE ... but the emphasis was on *changing* our habits, not finding something to else to buy so we could stay parked on our hindquarters (and not parked on a bicycle seat).
So, yea, especially in this relatively small town, I should be seeing how to make cycling a media presence... okay, as soon as I get this online course done. 24 lessons to go..... WILL STOP BEING DISTRACTED NOW>>>>>>
