A guy I know had is license suspended (multiple DUI), he's back driving now, sober in recovery but during the forced leave of absence he became a skilled bike commuter. Got a couple of good bikes, tried a few centuries, got fit. He didn't think "oooh, poor me, I can't drive". He made the best of it and got fit and more important, sober.

Which brings me back to my thought: How do we reach out to the invisible cyclists and show them there is a pride and skill in being a good effective cyclist rather than shame in being "car'less".

Liza, I like the sound of that group!!
