My local paper ran a full page article on bike commuting - front page of the "living" section. And it was locally produced instead of running a story off the AP wire service. Pretty much followed a couple of folks who bike commute, but did offer tips on bikes, stuff you'd need (paniers, place to change at work, water bottles, tool kit, HELMET, etc), and how happy these featured bike commuters like their commute. The article didn't touch on the lack of bike lanes, potholes the size of small cars, lack of respect from drivers - the things that sent me back to being a cager.
I want to bike commute to work, but the survival gene is just too strong. I do ride my cruiser around the neighborhood, and run local errands on it - because I can stay OFF the busy roads. But my range is limited by canals and railroad tracks.

I passed 17 bikers on the way home from work today. How cool is that?
