I agree with almost everything in the article and support bicycle commuting enthusiastically. The only positive thing I would add from my own experience is that one doesn't necessarily have to live in a "bicycle friendly" city, complete with plenty of paved bicycle pathways, to make bicycle commuting a highly rewarding experience. I ride 30 miles round trip almost entirely on normal streets. Sometimes, I think we can unintentionally discourage people from considering bicycling as a realistic alternative to driving by overemphasizing the need for bicycle-specific transportation infrastructure. But that said, the article was primarily about the benefits of bike commuting, and I agreed heartily with all of those points.

All in all, I give the article an enthusiastic, "thumbs up!" (Thanks, Mr. Fox)
