“I received the best compliment the other day since I became a cyclist…someone came up to me and asked if I rode a bike. I was ecstatic. I have been trying for years to not look like a cyclist.” –mk at momentum
Cycle Commute
- Is fast, fun, enjoyable, time-saving, healthy.
- Makes me feel happy, stress-free, alive, succesful, fit.
–Polak, on Sydney Cyclist
“Road-bike aficionados are much like trout: simultaneously enthralled and mortified by anything shiny and new that enters their environment.” –Wired.com
“Cycling provides economic benefit in terms of improved public health, reduced levels of traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions, as well as reductions in expenditure on transport fuel. These benefits accrue most readily when the bicycle is used as a substitute for car journeys.” –Cycling Promotion Fund
“But here’s the big secret: bike commuting is no sacrifice at all. As a matter of fact, I often feel a pang of guilt for doing it. It’s so much fun, and I derive so many benefits from it…” –Alan, www.ecovelo.info

As there have been no reports of anyone’s head exploding after my first attempt, it looks like it’s safe for me to speedlink again.
Today, a very special guest rant from Sir Clive Pompous-Arse…
