Absolutely. I love riding for another reason, to do my bit for the protection of the environment. I hope bicycles will become a preferred means of city transportation in America.
It's said that the United States is a country driven by automobile engines, and Americans are a people on the wheel. They don't feel like they are in charge of their lives unless they are in charge of the wheel.
That's no exaggeration. American life is, in a way, life on the motor wheel. Wherever you go, you'll see drive-ins, such as drive-in restaurants, drive-in banks, drive-in movies, and even drive-in churches. I believe Americans will have drive-in weddings and divorces soon.
Many people here seem to be envious of this bit of the American way of life.
I wouldn't consider that a healthy attitude. As a matter of fact, it is quite disturbing and scary to realize now we are being reduced to a group of inactive machine-bound dwarfs. You know, more and more Americans are firmly opposed to the advancement of the crashing and smashing motor wheel.
