August 10th, 2005 - The argument for bicycling
In this first chapter of the book Seven Wonders, an excellent argument for bicycling is given, including arguments for more tax dollars to be spent on cycling (such as bike lanes).
The biggest problem with building a house in the country (outside of the expense) is that I won’t be able to commute by bike. I’ve even thought about commuting nearby and riding my bike the rest of the way. I’d skip the parking fees that way, too. In bad weather and winter time, I’d walk, or pay for daily parking, just like I do now.
