There are not many things more freeing and life affirming as riding on a bike. I couldnt agree more about this. However, I think that as a vehicle for social interaction cycling is no different than any other hobby. Bikes also act as an important social platform for communication between other humans, and I dont mean to detract from that. Chris in particular is never afraid to try new things, and I think that will always be one of the best aspects of VO. So here is an interesting take on the situation by one of my favourite bloggers, The Anchoress, who points out that America is now truly post-racial and not only in the sense used by The One and his acolytes, who cry raaaaaaaaaacism every time his politics are criticized. At the risk of sounding too much like a company shill, I have to say that Ive had a really good time here at VO. zgodbice
