WOW!!
That guy is a little scary. More nuclear power plants.
Its funny how people can dismiss such a simple idea so easily. Sure it might not be the total solution but it sure as hell cant hurt. It might also help the USA gain some ground on country life expectancy if people were a little more active. I dont know how good these stats are but 38 for the USA is not what I expected. Governments love saving money so just think how much they would save if more people got fit.

Bicycles seem to me to be a win for the environment and a win for the health of a nation.The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

he needs to know we are here.
we dont pollute, we dont consume natural resources, we dont clog the roads, we dont tear up the roads, we do promote fitness.
there are also bike caucusses in both the house and senate. they should hear from us since we vote in their district.
