I've come across it after writing mine <a href="http://naturallycyclingmanchester.wordpress.com/2010/11/10/less-is-more/" rel="nofollow">"Less is More"</a>... but then, I am not surprised as your blog, Meli's and many others (cycling related) are my daily inspiration. I really do feel that when cycling is fully embraced and becomes part of your daily life, the bike seriously inspires you that indeed less-is-more :D L xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810099708146569685.post-82540153717649560462010-11-11T22:47:34.385-08:002010-11-11T22:47:34.385-08:00You are inspiring.You are inspiring.Emma Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05445947251876802806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810099708146569685.post-42582746683392203992010-11-10T13:49:20.676-08:002010-11-10T13:49:20.676-08:00Love it, love it, love it!Love it, love it, love it!Erica Robert Pallohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10072747912661310051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810099708146569685.post-22336720722927841902010-11-09T23:11:11.113-08:002010-11-09T23:11:11.113-08:00Jennifer- $30, new with tags!!

Score!<br /><br />Todd- I am not sure you could call your move to Portland a "Failure" : ) A great deal of why we live in our tiny place is "rent control" which over the last 17 years has saved us from having to leave the City.<br /><br />CGR- best thing about the skirt? i can spill jam on it and you would never see it! : D<br /><br />cmb- I am not sure if it is the focused time spent in the saddle, or the blood flowing or having to be open to being different when you ride but it certainly changes things when you do!Adrienne Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16658593098911314756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810099708146569685.post-51235678439887930642010-11-09T19:56:45.299-08:002010-11-09T19:56:45.299-08:00Loved this thoughtful post.

I agree in that there is something about how the bike as your primary form of transportation shapes the mind in how you approach your life, as well as your stuff..

I have no problem buying something from a distant place if I can't get it from somewhere local. As I live in the SF Bay Area which is surrounded by farm land that produces a significant percentage of the USA's food supply there is no excuse for me buying produce from any place other than here.<br /><br />As to cargo bikes... let's just say that there is one in my future that is a great deal more local than Denmark : )Adrienne Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16658593098911314756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810099708146569685.post-84524661295518390402010-11-09T15:54:33.992-08:002010-11-09T15:54:33.992-08:00..and I thought I was the only one who operated on.....and I thought I was the only one who operated on the one in,two out principle. But hey, I do have a problem with the tomato concept. For instance, my new Bullitt cargo bike is being shipped from CPH to MEB.Is this wrong? Should I stop travelling by plane? This would be hard as we love to travel! I guess it's just a case of all things in well thought out moderation.<br /><br />regards,<br /><br />Ian,Melbourneian_rm27https://www.blogger.com/profile/16540292911802463405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810099708146569685.post-65423631237995729262010-11-09T15:39:19.751-08:002010-11-09T15:39:19.751-08:00ade! i love Inna Jam!
