This thread brought up a question, now I see the answer, however, I'll admit I'm a tad discouraged and self conscious about stepping into the CarFree forum, and certainly don't want to be any sort of an apologist. I'm dang proud of myself for making an effort, and everyone else out there who is. A bicycle commuter is just the most beautiful thing there is, more wonderful than a jar of roses.... the way I see it, bicycle commuting is nobler than any other cause. It merits equal ranking with Mother Theresa!

They really aren't that bad in Car Free...I drop in from time-to-time with a smart-arsed comment and haven't had any bicycle-riding suicide bombers going after my pickup!
