Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

It's not so much bike sales are that high, but that car sales are REALLY low.

Number of seconds played by NBA players in the 2008-2009 season is expected to easily surpass the number of autos sold in the US during the same time period.

The difference is most of the bikes lie unused in the garage. Everybody actually drives their cars.

You're right, I really need to take my car out sometime. Holy crap, the thing probably has spiders living in the driver's seat. Unfit life for a TSX, no?
