I Want To Ride My Bicycle

This is the bike I am totally crushing on. For me, a bike has zero appeal if it is for the self-flagellation of lotojack or a triathlon. Athlete's bikes are entirely stripped of cute. I wouldn't be caught dead in yellow-black spandex and on an Argon 18. I want a bike that allows me to wear a summer dress and go to the store, to work, to pick up the kids, or go on a date night. I don't want to worry about the damn chain. My future bike is made for people who ride their bikes in a suit and trek all over town. Let's face it, I want to be just like the people in Finland--and the rest of Europe for that matter, riding their bikes all over and in style.

And for that matter let's just say that I love myself some Obama.

But I wish we would let the car companys die and instead buy every American a bike.

And put in some bike paths.

And grow gardens instead of roads.

And sing Joni Mitchell songs.
