There is great ,and honored, history in the use of the bicycle for
everyday folk's in everyday common use as transportation.

Shame on you for being such woosies.
Geek is a very honorable term. Geeks discovered fire, designed the pyramids, invented the trebuchet, the printing press and the bicycle. Well, I've always been a geek and in my youth, a freak, waving my freak flag high. But for the life of me, I missed the book that laid out the great, and honored history of the use of the bicycle as transportation in this country.

I've faced traffic for nearly 50 years, so I may have helped write it.. So, in no way am I a wussie. Nor am I woozy.
