Idea for a PSA

This morning I woke up after a less than restful night's sleep and debated whether I should ride to work. (Granted, this was 4:00 in the morning.) I finally just decided to go ahead and ride. By the time I got to work, I felt great and wondered why I ever doubted myself. That got me thinking: there have been several threads lately about how to raise bicycle commuting awareness. I think I have an idea.

PSA
We all have this inner voice that tells us:
It's too hard.
It's too far.
It's too hot.
It's too cold.
It's too dangerous.
What if it rains?
What if it snows?
What if I get a flat?
What will my neighbors think?
What will my co-workers think?
It won't make a difference.
It's time to find that inner voice
and silence it.

Now, picture each line being spoken by a different person (a bicycle commuter), maybe having the line echo and/or the keys words scroll by in the background and the last line spoken by someone famous (like Lance Armstrong) then at the end have the words "Bike to Work" as a logo.

So, whatta think?
