Cool--thanks for the links.


On that last one, I found this: The 2005 Energy Policy Act (PL 109-58) signed into law by President Bush on August 8, 2005 authorizes a $6.2 million program to study the energy impact of shifting car trips to bicycle trips in up to ten communities. Congress should appropriate funding to implement the study, which will be managed by the Secretary of Transportation.

While that sounds like a great idea, why does it cost 6.2 million to study this? Isn't it a no-brainer?
