Fantastic speech on cycling versus driving. Crucially important.
I don't know how else to say it. I was on my second latte this morning, and simply had to just stop and listen. Everything this man says is the same as what I've been saying on DU for years.

If only people could see what I have learned and experienced by abandoning the car. Not totally. I had to go to the emergency room at midnight in the rain recently. But my god, there is a better world.

Biking makes you live longer. And happier.

2. I'm glad you got to see this.
It's really something to hear. And after the posts we had, it is the perfect talk about how to encourage others to follow. There's a lot more to this talk than it seems on the surface.

I've grown to a point where bikes and biking are pretty much my life. My friends are the leaders in the industry. But that's another story.

Cheers.
