She said to me, entirely straight-faced: "Wouldn't it be great if you could just ride your bike everywhere all the time?" I said: "You can." I find it funny that a) many vacation communities have extensive non-car facilities and b) few people consider that they can arrange their non-vacation lives and communities to be as pleasant EVERY DAY as somewhere they go on vacation once a year.
