Bike To Work Day

Thursday, 17 May, 2007, 08:09 - Cycling, Philosophy, Random Thoughts

If you need an excuse to ride your bike to work, you are doing it for the wrong reason. Taking your car off the road for a single day is NOT going to make a difference to air quality. It is not going to be a substantial financial gain to you. And it's not going to make a difference to your physical well being. Ride every day, or at least a few days a week; and you might be making a difference. You might, assuming that humans are actually capable of affecting the climate on a global scale. And that's quite the absurdly humanistic way of looking at things. Which of course, is ironic coming from a bunch of folks who insist we are the descendants of apes

**(edit: I'm sorry, they insist that we are descendants of the same ancestors as apes).**
