People For Bikes: If I Ride

June 20, 2010 by pbik  
Filed under Bikes


We all ride for our own reasons, but we all want the same thing: a better future for bicycling. If you want a better future for biking, sign the pledge at www.peopleforbikes.org. It only takes a minute. “If I Ride” is a bicycle rider’s poem to biking. Our goal is to gather a million names of support, to speak with one, powerful voice—to make bicycling safer, more convenient and appealing for everyone. Simply put, we believe that life is far more enjoyable when its experienced on two wheels. We believe that by coming together, we can make our world a better place to ride.

    @jiggytree It’s a song by a band called Explosions in the Sky. The song is called “So Long, Lonesome” and is from their 2007 album, “All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone”. Get the whole album, they are fantastic!

    I want the audio off this video as an mp3 so I can easily listen to it everyday and so I can toss it on playlists.

    That’s a great poem. Anyone know who wrote it?

    We don’t “ride”, that’s what motor bikers do.

    We cycle, pedal, crank. I crank hard.

    @samdon815 You’re old so I can see you’re not as interested in the alternatives as some of these young folks are. So you might miss out on the mayhem of Peak Oil (Demand outstrips supply) . Cheap energy is going the way of the Dodo unless you can knock out China and India (both emerged global economic players with growing interests in energy consumption/security). So unless there’s a miracle in development of replacement to the fossil fuels, you best get your fitness on. Punch on.
