salon.com's globalization blogger offers "one more reason to ride a bike"

Andrew Leonard, author of a blog called "How the World Works" over at Salon.com, wrote a great piece Sunday in praise of one specific consequence of bike commuting: riding a bike shows other people how easy and fun it is to ride a bike, perhaps inspiring them to ride a bike in turn!  Here's my favorite part of Leonard's piece:

You may be wondering why I decided to share this tiny urban cycling vignette. In the big scheme of things it's not all that important. But it brightened up my day like a ray of afternoon sunshine breaking through a blanket of San Francisco Bay Area fog and I just had to share the glee. Real human contact with a complete stranger is much rarer in our lives than it should be. And any time someone decides to ride a bike instead of driving a car is good for them and does the world a favor. And might even be good for someone else too, who isn't riding a bike ... yet.
