Disclaimer:  This post is poking fun at Mark Slagle's
general opposition to bicycle commuting and should not
be taken seriously since these are not quotes but my
interpretations of what he said.  In fact, he may not
even have said some of this (although it wouldn't surprise
me!).  And once in a while he even raises a good point,
but mostly he's a bonehead.

Mark Slagle's top 17 reasons you shouldn't bike to work:

#17) You live too far away

#16) You need your car to do your job

#15) Biking is dangerous and hazardous to your health

#14) You'll have to do an extra shower and change

#13) Your company will have to provide those expensive shower structures

#12) Weather - you might get caught in the California rains!

#11) You should avoid doing things that others say are good because
    they are just trying to force you under their control

#10) The time you spend exercising on your bike will take away from
    the time you should be spending with your car in traffic

#9) Your employer probably will not pay you to bike

#8) Your insurer probably will not pay you to bike

#7) The amount of money you make dwarfs the cost of your car

#6) You should drive more to assert that driving is indeed your right

#5) You will create a demand for more of those expensive bikeways

#4) You may eat more, thus causing more environmental damage

#3) You will then sh*t more, thus causing even more environmental damage!

#2) Cars actually get better mpgpp (miles per gallon per pound) than bikes

  ... and the top reason not to ride your bike to work is:

#1) Boneheads don't ride their bikes to work!
