- ONLY if you live were it is warm year round. If the streets are snow
- packed and slippery it is difficult to ride. And what about those who are
- over 60. Not all of them are comfortable rideing bicycles. Bicyclig is a
- option only for those who are healthy and active. Bicycling on ice is only
- for the young and foolish.

- Just because bicycling works for you does not mean that it is the solution
- for all of the country.
