I'd like to meet:

I want to see more people ride bikes in Anchorage. You know why? here are a few quick reasons. 1)Do you have any idea how much poison gas a car makes when it drives five miles in the winter? Let me put it this way. It wouldn't all fit in your garage, but if it did and you hung out in there, it'd kill the crap out of you. 2)I was stopped at a stop light the other day on a bike and this guy talked to me. He said "nice day for a ride." I'd never seen that guy before, but we chatted for about a minute at the stop light. When you drive, strangers stay strangers. When you bike, Everybody's your friend. Except your enemies.A long term study recently demonstrated that people who bike to work live an average of 15 years longer than people who don't Read the paper yourself. That includes your chances of being hit by a truck and everything. Wanna live 15 more years? Ride a bike to work.

Heroes:

Balance is easier with speed.
