Getting back into biking after years of relying on public transport is quite liberating. This is probably why people like cars. I imagine it would be even better if we had a nice high density urban environment. It would be nice to think that the opportunity of the earthquake would lead to some nice new residential high rises in the city centre, but with Sideshow Bob and King Gerry in charge we'll probably just get some new pollutatoria.
I've been reading a book on the environment and climate change and what not, and I already knew we were fucked, but man, we are so fucked. Roll on genetic engineering. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, but we need to figure out what New Zealand's climate will end up like, find an equivalent climate now, and either steal all of their agricultural technology, or, if they're mired in the third world, ship some scientists over, set up a 'charitable' crop science institute, and invent some agricultural technology to steal.
Also, the best song about bicycles that isn't by Queen.
