- I certainly can't disagree with you on that point. For most people in
- the U.S., cycling and walking are not even considered as a possible
- alternative to driving. A simple trip to the store, one block away, must
- be done in a car. Store clerks automatically ask you such things as,
- "Can I help you carry your groceries out to your car." When you tell
- them that you arrived by bicycle, you might as well have said flying
- saucer.
