Commuting by bike is against the Constitution

Calm down, join hands, sing kumbaya, hand me the chocolate

There is extreme everything, some call us extreme because we ride whether everywhere or even at all. I think brevets are kinda extreme, you may think they are too short.

But speaking as a Jew, kinda a bagel with bacon and cream cheese Jew but also an old well middle aged tree hugger I am heartened to see a growing movement among Christians, even evangelicals towards awareness of climate change.

"Just a year ago, we found out from climate scientists that the melt in the Arctic had turned into a rout. It was happening so fast it was as if your hair turned gray overnight. Now, I have a receding hairline, but I don't have my hair turning gray overnight. Well, that's what happened with the environment. An area the size of Colorado was disappearing every week, and the Northwest Passage was staying wide open all September for the first time in history. And so, to look at this and not see what's happening, I think is, well, it was sort of the ignorance is strength idea. Well, not. It's not strength. Look, strength is knowing what's happening to the world around us, and moreover, as a Christian, we can't claim to love the Creator and abuse the world in which we live." ~ Rev. Richard Cizik, vice president for governmental affairs of the National Association of Evangelicals
