Bicycle Sales Are Exploding
I saw this headline and I figured I would find something on AMCGLTD about it, since Scott is so obsessed with biking lately. Americans have bought 19 million bikes, the most since the oil crisis in the 1970's.

Of course drivers are so inconsiderate these days it's really dangerous to be out on a bike. I'm sure we will see a rise in bike-car fatalities.

I actually came this close to linking it, but if you had any idea the grief I get from my mom every time I link something bike-related up.
On a related note, if you guys ever get in the mood to pick up some pedal-powered conveyances, let me know, I'll make sure you don't get busted.
I could make some crack about sticking it to evil "Godless Christian Neo-cons", but instead I'll just wait and drop you for real on the trail.
