Gary Fisher on Car (and Bike) Culture
December 1, 2008
Gary Fisher, considered one of the inventors of the modern mountain bike, gives his perspective on car culture and where we are headed:
I partially agree with Fisher on the question of shopping; the challenge, I believe, will be convincing people that you can haul an entire shopping trip's worth of groceries home on a bike. Or... that it isn't such a bad thing to take your bike to the grocery store twice a week instead of taking a car once.

In the summer, I only use my bike to go shopping (I live a mile away from Whole Foods and Target). I have a basket in the front and my husband has a crate over his back tire.
It totally holds enough food for a week!
(The winter? A whole other story. That involves no bikes, sadly.)
