Watch Your Nutmegs on the Crossbar

Their is an opinion piece in in the Stamford Advocate today that argues the Nutmeg State should go further in promoting the use of bikes as a mode of transportation. Kind of puts Blog Stamford on the cutting edge of civil discourse.

So far the goodwill from the 4th Estate isn't translating into any state action. Fairfield County Weekly reported this week that while the new rail cars on the Metro North will accommodate bikes, they won't be allowed on during the peek hours.

A set back, but it's my feeling that biking won't pick up in the area at first with commuting to work so much as it will with recreation. I think someone biking to Capriccio for lunch on a Saturday is an easier sell for a community not accustomed to the biking culture of European city than showing up to the office with pit stains and Rorschach blot of sweat your shirt back.
