Bicycling is eco- transportation. Now get back into your car and add to the congestion.

Isn't it hard to ride a bicycle while hugging a whale?

My Chevy Silverado is my transportation. "Bicycling" (it's called cycling, newb) is my hobby. There's no congestion where I live, we aren't all city dwellers.

An inexpensive "Specialized" helmet barely kept me alive on an end of season ride. I suffered a "sub-arachnoid hemorrhage" which has a 50% mortality rate. I am in the market for a new helmet and do not want to be a tester for a untested technology. $2.95 Styrofoam offered to parents for kids. These might prove to be a better alternative.
