Then why is he still riding around on a bicycle?? He should be flying around in a jet-propelled backpack if you believe that technology has so transformed our lives! Yeah, the bicycle is a carbon-fiber bicycle and certainly nowhere as durable as a 1960s steel bicycle, at least, regarding the frame, but I'm cool with that -- the carbon fiber, that is. The racing bicycle hasn't changed that much since the early 1900s. Mountain bikes are way cool, too, and they have evolved a lot IMO. Still, I don't see how an iPod changes the bicycling equation very much except to get you smacked up for not paying attention to traffic!
