It really reminded me why I like riding a 50+ pound bike every day. Not just because it can carry things.....(because usually it's pretty empty)....but because it represents the potential to change. It doesn't mean you don't own a car, but it means if you want to you can get to the grocery store without one, or ride downtown to see a show and bring a chair, or carry work cloths without starting the day with a sweaty back.
Anyway, it's a feel good video about the potential bicycles offer and it made me smile. Hopefully, it will get you one your bike!

EcoVelo posted this one today (so I'm shamelessly reblogging).
This one hits home with me. I think I rode to work the first time just because one of my buddies was going to. Then I did it because it was an easy way to sneak some exercise in. As I started riding more often I found that if I wanted to do something after work I just continued on the bike. Eventually, this meant I was carrying more and more stuff for the day and my bag got larger and larger and larger. After a while I wanted to carry more than a bag was practical for and making the transition to a cargo bike (xtracycle) was the logical choice.
