Bicycling and walking are good for the health of the participants, those living nearby, the planet, and the US healthcare system.

Good Morning, 99%'ers.

My posting this Tuesday is temporary until next week when a new author will take over the Tuesday Open Thread slot. I will let him or her introduce themselves to you then.

I am a bicyclist, I don't drive anything beyond two wheels and no motor. I don't go as far as I used to, as I have problems with my feet and my ankles. But I do the errands: I go to the post office, to the grocery store, to the water mill. Back and forth, same routes every time, along streets with pleasant landscaping and good dog fencing, because it is not fun to be rushed by loose dogs when bicycling.
