One more question for those of us that bring in a sack lunch to work. Pray tell me, where are we to keep our lunch if we ride a bike into work? You think every employer has a place to put a sack lunch-and if an employer DOES have a place to put it-who is to say that it will not be stolen? It's just safer to keep that sack lunch in your car!

Not really sure if this idea would work in Southern California. You see. Southern California (in fact-all of California) is spread out all over the place. When somene lives in Riverside (for example) and a person commutes to Irvine (for example) that is a LONG LONG bike ride. Folks-it is NOT practical for people that commute 20 miles to work (one way) to ride a bike to work. I do not know anyone that will ride a bike 20 miles to work, unless their car broke down and had no other way to get to work and was scared of getting fired. I really don't think anyone would bike 10 miles to work. I can see someone peddling may be 5 or 6 miles one way-but come on folks! Who works only 6 miles away from home in Southern California? People that do not live here or have never lived here-just do NOT understand this when I say "If you live in California, you NEED a car to get back and forth to work!"
