I guess the high gas prices have prompted some US city officials to seriously consider making their cities more bicycle friendly. Portland Oregan is trying to replicate a bicycle rental progam similar to Paris (sorry Nederland). There was also a competition in NYC to see the fastest mode of travel to work, I guess to show people that it is a better way to commute to work. The bicycle was pitted against the subway and driving. Guess what? The bicycle prevailed.
Employers are even getting in on the action by incentivizing cycling to work (money, showering facilities). Wow, I guess $127 a barrel can light a fire under some feet...
