Well, in college my friend's roommate lost his license to a DUI so he started riding his bike. Besides me he was the only one who would brave riding down the busy main drag of the campus. He got my repect simply because he would go everywhere on his bike, ride in any weather, and was out there with us everyday. Of course, as soon as he was able to get a car he did and as far as i know he stopped using his bike as transport, which is sad really. So i guess that kind of looses my respect because he never saw the light or had any kind of epiphany about bike commuting, and is probably going out to bars and driving home drunk again.
