Gridlock v. Hot Chicks

I said to Pam, “this sucks,” as we inched along in traffic. I hadn’t driven a car in over a week and was quickly reminded of the gridlock in downtown Seattle when I turned onto a street full of buses, the occasional car, and nothing was moving. I wished we were riding Bettie right then.

On the topic of gridlock, NYTimes editorialist Carolyn Curiel, recently wrote, “The city has too many cars, and not enough streets and roadways to put them on. There needs to be fewer cars and more cyclists, pedestrians, and mass-transit riders.” Such cities do exit, ones that are not dominated by cars and car culture. Jason Swihart is visiting one right now and just wrote to Bike Hugger:

Copenhagen report: many hot chicks on bikes. The place is biker heaven, and half of them are hot chicks wearing impractical (for cycling) shoes. It’s great.

Not only is Denmark a haven for cyclists, but the chicks are hot!
