Just a quick note about an article on Bike and Car sales in the US.  While both are suffering compared to 2008, bike sales outnumber car sales in the first quarter of 2009. 

Don't get me wrong, I don't look at numbers like this and hope for more consumption by car or bike purchases.  I do hope this is a shift of proportions that will continue as people ride bicycles rather than cars.
