I do hope they run more articles. Just so they don't ruin it with bad pictures.

I noticed that newspapers often show photos of cyclists without helmets, and I think it has something to do with the photographer just thinking its a better portrait. We usually don't get the "don't even wear helmets" comments as they are only required for minors in California. Though ANYTIME there is an article about cycling it generates similar letters to the editor from people who don't ride. Drives me nuts!!
