Commuter diaries - we just ride here

100_1946.JPGGreat ride yesterday, 20 miles in the Sun, riding my ss with just the essential in my pocket.
Is it me or is cycling everywhere at the moment ranging from Reginald Perrin on the BBC to CSI NY on 5. We no longer seem to be counter culture or even lycra clad subversives are we in danger of becoming main stream and if so would that be a bad thing?
After all that would surely mean more bikes and fewer cars on the road.
Just watched a film about the staff at Santa Cruz Bicycles, called "we just ride here", very inspiring.
