I'm having a tough time picturing 3000 bicycles in downtown Pittsburgh.
Maybe they're including Oakland in that estimate.

Engaging in symbolism on Bike day can be fun but what about the other 364 days?

That number could rise with a $20 a month federal tax credit to reimburse bicyclists for things such as bike repairs, storage and helmets.”

There is no end to the bribery for their fools on the left.

"It saves a lot of money, saves on gas, and it's good for the environment and it's a good time to get exercise in," said Jake Baechle, a bicyclist. "It's just the way we need to start moving as a country as a whole..."

Oh shut up, you stupid totalitarian collectivist. You can't just ride your damn bike, can you? You got to push for laws requiring everyone to do so, and the destruction of all technology for the last 300 years at the point of a gun, back up by concentration camps and death panels, just so you can say the right things to try to get laid picking up some stupid women at a Starbucks.

Liberals - if they didn't exist, no one would ever believe they could.

Get on a kids toy and go play in traffic.

Once a year they have a bicycle ride here in Huntsville, Texas.
The fools do not obey any laws.
I believe they all come from socialist Houston.

Last year I did my part for to save the environment.

To prevent the spread of global warming, I opened up all the windows in my house and turned down the central air conditioning in my home to 55 degrees in an attempt to cool the outside. Made me feel so good about myself....

Bike to work unless, of course, you have to punch a time clock at a certain time, or carry tools, or drive from jobsite to jobsite. What elitist, feel-good nonsense.

Plus, if they really wanted to do this, they should have waited for one of those nice, snowy days I remember as a kid growing up in some of the towns cut into the hillsides of the river banks. Drive your bike down a street that is at a 45 degree + angle that is covered in ice.

You could do that in Atlanta too - if you are suicidal.

Yeah, I suspect as much. Anything within a five mile radius of the point is "Downtown."

Guess what? Biking increases in nice weather. So does driving. Thousands of Pittsburgh who were content to huddle in their homes during the February snowfall were out on the streets today. Not just bicyclists.

Average commute here is about 30 miles and muggy hot rainy days in summer. Yeah. Have fun, but stay out of the way of those who show up to work clean and ready.

Yeah?....and it also plays hell with the people around you that have to smell your stinky B.O. all damn day long!

Why do they always choose warm weather for these demonstrations. If these dopes really wanted to prove a point, do this around Christmas with snow and ice and cold. Go shopping with your ten speed and bring home your gifts and goose on your handlebars. Phony BS.

I need to get my rear wheel trued soon. I was doing well on riding my bike to school, and then me and a Durango had a meeting, luckily at low speeds. Learned a very good lesson that day, always make eye contact.

It is a good thing to do when feasible.
