Cannondale Reflects on the Pleasure of Bike Riding

Cannondale is based in Bethel, Connecticut. An interesting sales pitch from their site:

Helping The Planet Help Itself. Ride a bike. Ride a good one. Pick your route to work, to school,or to the grocery store. Skim quietly past the bored multitudes stuck inside tin coffins on the expressway during rush hour. Ride along the street, waving to pedestrians and grinning wildly with the pleasure of riding a bicycle. Remember that Einstein thought of the theory of relativity while riding his bicycle. Get on a bike instead of sitting on a sofa at home, stuffing your face with fried foods and watching soul-killing shows about amateurs singing badly. Ride your bicycle for the good of the planet, using it for transportation and recreation. Ride your way to freedom from high oil prices. Ride for self-reliance. Please... ride your bike and help us support others who do the same. http://www.cannondale.com/company/advocacy.html
