Alternative Transportation Week: The Bicycle

On the Fourth of July, let's celebrate Independence as a nation, and when possible, independence from our automobiles.

With the huge disclaimer that I drive, as I've disclosed before, a fairly large Detroit automobile, and I drive a lot, I can also honestly say that I spent the Fourth cruising up and down Newport Beach's Balboa Peninsula on my bike. I didn't touch my SUV all day, an unbelievable luxury considering the madness that was traffic on the peninsula.

It's the simplest alternative transportation: ride a bike! (And wear a helmet while you're at it.)
