doodlemaierThis link is from ET (gone but not forgotten!) There's good ideas for folks even if you don't live in 'rlington, Va (I don't . . .)
I've replaced my passcard for the secure building I work in, I have a functional bicycle (or two). Now I just need to get me a couple of those freenky bicycle outfits and actually ride the 5.11 miles from here to home to get a fix on how long I can expect the trip to take in the morning. I see no reason why I shouldn't be a bicycle commuter by Monday (unless that acl gives out all the way). I'll have to figure out the finer points of carrying and changing into my 'business casual' goob suit, always open and ready for the next mistake.
See ya' in the streets, Suckas!

The single greatest thing a person can do--for health, for the environment, for traffic congestion and time management--is to ride a bike to work. If every adult American pedaled to work just one day per week, we'd reduce auto emissions by 92 million tons of CO2 per year, burn 5.1 trillion calories (shedding a collective 1.5 billion pounds) per year, ease traffic congestion, save time (no need to go to the gym that day) and reduce stress with the simple pleasure of riding a bike.
