If an SUV is the guzzling pig on the road, the bicycle is the sleek gazelle. SUVs bully down the streets.
Bikes move with balletic grace.
The two-wheelers promote clean energy, resourcefulness, human endurance. Yet, our city is kinder and more accommodating to the SUV than to the bicycle. Boston is not a place that promotes bike commuting. The opposite should be true. Bicyclists, doing their part to conserve resources, should be welcome to pedal the streets of the city.
