Electric Riding


Here I am on my electric bike! It is an awesome machine, although one that is better if you can avoid busy streets. The "Strive to Drive Less" t-shirt I designed at Printfection.com an easy way to design your own tees; to note, the jersey styles seem to be better quality than the regular t-shirts. I advocate little changes rather than extreme moves (although both are effective), so am attempting 60 miles or less a week of car driving, which is a large decrease for the subburbs--I'll have to revise the goal once we move downtown where a car is less crucial. Walking is also an extremely enjoyable mode of transportation. I think the U.S. would be happier if they spent less time in their car.
