Giant OCR 2

I've long struggled with two aspects of LA life: traffic and pollution. First I got my motorcycle license -- good for traffic, slightly better for pollution. I nixed that because I realized that I would never be able to break the news to my mom. Then I bought a new, sporty car that would enable me to weave through lanes -- good for traffic, bad for pollution.
I love my car, but I never drive it, because of this, my third and most perfect way of coping with traffic and pollution:

My Giant OCR 2 road bike. I ride this little human-powered movement factory to work almost every day. Last Saturday my girlfriend and I rode to the Griffith Observatory. To say that the most glorious celestial bodies on display were our own would be inaccurate, but only due to Io.

Pros:

• Gets you places
• Fun
• Saves money on gas
• Helps maximize the potential of your thighs
• If you buy one, we can go for rides together
• Gives moral superiority over everyone
  

Cons:

• With moral superiority comes responsibility
• Breathe a lot of car exhaust
• I will be killed by an SUV by year's end

Price: $900
