And on the "car in the shop" thing... I dropped my van off to have some major work done, and the folks at the dealership were amazed at two things:
- I didn't particularly care how long the job took or when I got the car back. I just told them to call me when it was done... who cares? I'd rather ride my bike anyways...
- I didn't want a ride anywhere in their courtesy van when I dropped the car off. They looked at me like I had three eyes when I got my bicycle out of the back of the van and rode away!
Most people never think about using a bicycle to actually get anywhere. It just stuns them when they see anyone using a bicycle as something other than a toy.
It's unfortunate that that is the case. Bikes are truly the greatest invention man has ever created:
When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others.
Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. ~Elizabeth West, Hovel in the Hills
I argue that it did.
