Imagine, if those who could bike, did...

1. You don't need such good roads - those who need a car, can go slower. After all, they don't have to make back time from being stuck in traffic jams.
2. The USA would be energy independent - therefore the Middle East wouldn't have any bearing on us at all. We wouldn't care. For example, there are more than a few places in the world where people hate each other and are fighting - and we don't even pay attention - no oil.
3. Being fat would no longer be a national epidemic.
4. Porches would come back in style - you would be able to say hello to your neighbor as they passed by.
5. The USA would lead in reduction of emissions.

Be A good citizen! Ride a Bike!

(Only slightly tongue in cheek)

By the way, I find myself having to wait for cars. I come up to a nice technical sections (barely) hoping to have a nice ride through it, and I have to wait for the cars! Bummer.
