Pedal Power...

Stat of the day:

In 1964, 50% of kids rode to school and the obesity rate was 12%. In 2004, 3% rode to school and the obesity rate was 45%.

That's the update from the 1 World 2 Wheels website, a site from Trek bikes and its dealers to encourage rusty or newbie bikers to get behind the handle bars, especially for short trips.

I saw the link to the site from a great Westchester New York bike shop, Danny's Cycles. The National Bicycle Dealers Association, the trade association for bike dealers, has been very active with ABA in fighting for online sales tax equity, and indie bike shops are key retail establishments for many Main Streets.

I know a movement they might be interested in hearing about. Have you dropped by the bike shop near you with a "We're IndieBound" logo for their window to talk about IndieBound?
