Our friend Jeff sent us this in hopes of making a contribution to the cause:
If you haven't already been there, thought you guys might be interested in http://bikedepot.org/. I've been by it several times on the way to art events but not in it. Checked out their web site and ran across the following gem amongst others:
"Question: How come when you're riding a ten speed bicycle, when you're not pedaling the bike makes a clicking noise?
Mike Walker from Deming, NM Answer: Mike, get this straight from the starting gate. I do not ride bicycles. Ever since I realized how ergonomically efficient the bicycle is, I knew that I would be doing a disservice to our petrochemical and nuclear energy industries by participating in this form of mechanical subversion. If you could build a bicycle that somehow consumed gasoline or uranium, well, maybe I could be persuaded to hop on, but until that time I will either ride in an automobile or stay put, thank you. To answer your question, that little clicking noise is a gauge put on your bike by the Communists who made it. It is counting off all the lost oil revenue, the money not going into American coffers because you chose to ride a Communist produced instrument of subversion. If that makes you feel a bit guilty as you ride, relax, it should."

PS...They carry Marin Bikes and that is what my buddy TR rides in CA, NICE BIKE!
