It's a political statement for me in that part of my reason for not driving is lessening my environmental footprint and trying to reduce oil wars. But this isn't the main reason I do it, just a nice side benefit. I just like to bike. I'm like one of those vegetarians who stops eating meat because they just don't like it. But then realize all the other aspects of it and those are just icing on cake. I was one of those (who are usually the newly converted) who was zealous about anti-car culture. I've made my peace and now just do my own thing because it makes me happy. All I want is peace and respect on the roads.
Now, all the stickers on my bike and rack are very political.
