Everything in its right place

Bike riding for the adult set isn't all Tour de France and lycra shorts, despite marketing efforts to the contrary.

This is addressed in links from the "Whoomp" post below ... the signs, right or wrong, that the US was starting to become a bit like Europe, and that expectations would likely need to shift when it comes to people riding bikes, rather than driving. We sweat! Hair (those of us who have it, anyway), can get messy!

Sounds like a bus ride, eh?

The Globe and Mail is on it, with Primp my ride. Check out how they're doing in Copenhagen at Copenhagen Cycle Chic. And if you really get it, spend some time at the Slow Bicycle Movement.

Alternately, you can ride "in the drops" on your new aluminum road bike. It's up to you.
