So this scenario actually played out in my life back in 1971 or thereabouts. I was at a rally in downtown Denver called "Bicycles Now". A doctor spoke about the reasons cycling is a better way to move your body about - talked about G forces in a car wreck, speed involved, speed involved in a bike wreck and then all the fitness dimensions a bike provides for your body.
His talk was a big part of me seeing bikes as a means of transportation over the following 50 years.
