As a Bicyclist Myself..

i have been thinking about the idea of less cars and more bicycles. this morning i rode on my bike to work at NCOD library. it is ten minutes ride. it is so easy that anybody can do it. at CSUN i often see aged professors ride on their bikes. i know a deaf and legally blind girl who always ride her bike around in Northridge. there is bicyclists' community here that people often overlooked.

bicycles are obviously environment-friendly, as opposed to cars. and people know it. people have been talking about global warming. yet they keep on driving. even after watching 'An Inconvenient Truth' they goes to food store down the block by car. CARS ARE NOT WORTH EARTH'S HEALTH

at Amsterdam with my own eyes, i fell in love with their traffic system inside the city. majority of people use bicycle as their primary transportation. there's always a bike in my sight. there are traffic lights for bicycles too. there are streets that's designed for bicycles only. i didn't see any police cars but police bicycles. indeed Amsterdam is the model city for world cities to look up to.

i can go on ranting about how bicycle is much better than car. i can write books on that. but i think i will leave it as it is. i better go back to workin' :]
