Comments on: One Possible Taste Of The Future http://bostonbiker.org/2009/11/23/one-possible-taste-of-the-future/ A community for cyclists in Boston Fri, 19 Mar 2010 15:50:34 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Pete Stidman http://bostonbiker.org/2009/11/23/one-possible-taste-of-the-future/comment-page-1/#comment-2049 Pete Stidman Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:05:44 +0000 http://bostonbiker.org/?p=1948#comment-2049 This is a very important component of what cycling advocacy should look like in the states. BnB's Girls in Action is the closest thing to it around here, but it would be powerful if those girls got involved in advocacy, wouldn't it? I'm not aware of the latest latest on these figures, but last time I checked around 76% of all cyclists in the U.S. were males. To me that is a really sad thing. We need to make our roads safer so that all can ride, all ages, all genders, everyone. This is a very important component of what cycling advocacy should look like in the states.

Those Dutch city bikes look great and are so practical for commuting, too. Something like that would be so much better than what I have now. I love all those beautiful bicycles!

For the sake of cycling, I sincerely hope that this video never reaches the general populous and the direction is put down. And yes, I am assuming that the director may be some sort of non-human primate, like a macaque, or a slow loris.
