“I hope that America is entering a post-’greed is good’ period. I can’t think of a single step that would change the nature of our society more than everyone abandoning their automobiles and cycling instead. There would be less dependence on oil, obesity levels would drop dramatically, and reflective bike clips would replace fancy ladies’ purses as the current must-have fashion accessory.”

just found this in ReadyMade magazine and thought you folks might appreciate it as turning to this page did bring a smile to my face, the article is online here, and you can download the poster in pdf... it should be a fixed bike if he wants to chat simplicity, but hey, works for me ;)
dewar forgot to add how much happier/less stressed everybody would be! plus all the internet friends they could make.
Katt, you are a gem. Just what I needed after a shitty Friday.
Mandywaffle n dfp, your missing the point it doesn't matter if car culture will cease or if everyone rides bikes in utopia.
Conditions change, peoples mindset can change. I don't know if you live in London but cycling here know is becoming massive. If the amount of people that are still riding in this shit weather and the amount coming in my shop is anything to go by people are minds are changing. Cyclings even got it's own primetime tv commercial.
Whats more is I don't belive that this boom is isolated in this city.
Besides it's given me a great idea.
