[SustainableTompkins] bike to work

[George Frantz]

Noble idea, but why just Bike to Work Day?  
   
  Why not Bike to Work Week? 
   
  Why not Bike to Work Month?
   
  Why not just everybody just regularly commuting to work by bike?
   
  Oh, that's right.  Rather than living in compact, walkable, bikable and transit-friendly communities most Americans, including about 80 percent of Tompkins County's (non-student) workforce, choose to live in a place where any form of journey to work transportation other than the single-occupancy automobile is just plain inconvenient.
   
  Another one of those Inconvenient Truths that neither Al Gore nor anybody else seems willing to confront.
