I always thought that in the future we’d have flying cars, cars that drive themselves, cars that don’t use gasoline. Unfortunately, someone has been slacking and instead of moving forward we are moving… sideways? I want to say backward but that sometimes has negative connotations. Instead we are (and by “we” I mean some people which may or may not include myself) are cycling instead of driving.
For those about to rock there is Bike Central and Bikestation (neither businesses have locations in my immediate area). These are businesses where cyclists can store their bikes, rent a bike, have repairs done, grab more fuel (i.e. snacks) and even shower! note: showering is only provided by Bike Central, not Bikestation.
Frankly, I think it’s genius. I just wish there were more and in areas I actually bike to (or would bike to).
also note: the title of this entry has nothing to do with the opening paragraph. that is because I changed the title after I wrote this.
