Yeah, biking is cool. It's quicker than walking, yet still relaxed, and more fun than being in a coffin.. er, car I mean :) Well, as long as it don't rain it is.
Here in Holland we have cities with big parts of the center designated only for bikes and footpeople.
I believe people with cars don't like to leave the safe environment of their home, so they have to stay in doors even when outside. Having their car-stereos close by to start making noises when the voices in their head start saying; it's a beautiful world outside of your car, but you'll only know when you take part in it.
I like to bike around my town. It is so much fun! Do you like to bike as well, if you can?
