Question Earthority!

“[A]lthough we will rely upon petroleum for decades, a new, post-petroleum culture is emerging. Among its features is an emphasis on bicycling for transportation. Yes, even in Bozeman, land of the 4×4 pickup and SUV. And, of course, business responds to these new conditions. Here’s one example. Performance Bike, a national firm, is sending out this e-mail: ‘More Bike, Less Car Cheaper, Cleaner, Healthier … Deals to help your commute>> (click here).’ Doing so merely takes one to an array of panniers, racks, and clothing. How hard would it be to go about a normal day using only a bike? I bike a lot, one year just over 5,000 miles, so this was a pleasing challenge. I experimented and found it enjoyable, but a bit stressful. Here’s that day, probably much like those of others who live out of town.” (07/16/08)
