Matt and others recent conversation about the drivers mentality to cyclists is 
important...somehow we need to use outlets..media and otherwise...to "market" 
or inform the driving world, of which I dither in too (I love anything with 
wheels...except roller skating)...that cyclists are more than inanimate objects 
but people, parents, children and committed involved citizens in many 
ways...just saving money, getting a workout, getting to work in a healthy 
way...having an impact.
 
Our media outlets could be the best way to get that message out...promoting a 
"know your commuter" profile...that humanizes those of us crazy enough to pedal 
around 4,000 pound "partners" that we share the roadways with....just one crazy 
thought.  Although its something we do here in the Network 222 Building..with a 
commuter of the week story/bio at the elevator postings...with incentives given 
to those who bike or take public transit into work and leave the car at home.
 
Meanwhile...anybody know where I can get a good rickshaw to take clients around 
on showings?
