We have the same suburbia problem but no one 'group' riding bikes.

There is a weekly bicycle commuters report on the local university radio station every Wednesday which is always very funny when it is -30 and everyone listening is thinking 'those crazy bicycle fuckers! I just chipped an inch of ice off my entire car!'

I think I'm weird, because I think taking the bus/train is fun. But we are a city that is trying to be progressive, because we're apparently about to boom. We also have a kick ass recycling program. Unrelated but further evidence of people willing to continue the hippie love whilst starting hockey riots.

I've seen a ton of Smart Cars this summer. So bloody cute!
