Perhaps We Are On the Wrong Bike

Perhaps we don't really get it. We bike every day with our fancy Lake shoes on our clipless pedals on our Norco roadbike when we learn from ReadingToronto that we should realy be riding a fabulous Dutch bike from Jorg and Olif. We go on about how bikes are ignored and mistreated here, but we do not stately glide down the road, we are agressive and demand our space. Perhaps if we were on one of these land yachts of a bike we might think differently, and so might the drivers around us. We wish we could try one out this weekend at Lileo.
