Give me a break! You can't go more than a couple of miles on a bike without the "aid" of a automobiles?!?! What an incredibly hypocritical message that to me DOES NOT "showcase the bicycle as a viable, healthy and fun method of transportation." Ditch the sage wagons and load up the panniers; then you got something! Otherwise it sounds like nothing more than a corporate publicity stunt only there to earn some green points in the media.
