 Wall Street Journal article on bike commuting 
So much for bike commuting being only for the us leftist environmental whackos. You know an activity is becoming mainstream when it's featured in a paper like the Wall Street Journal. Their article on bike commuting is attracting attention. It was forwarded to me by two people on the opposite site of the political spectrum.
Commuting to work by bike has renewed appeal right now. On top of health benefits -- like offering a chance to exercise without taking extra time -- it saves on the growing cost of fuel and even carries a certain cachet at the office.

A growing number of cities are making it easier to ride your bike to work -- erasing hurdles big and small, from securing bikes safely downtown, to taking bikes on public transit, to finding a discreet place to shower.
