I enjoyed Dave Kannas' initial bicycle column, notwithstanding its wordiness. However, I have a lot more in common with his wife.

I, too, own only "two bicycles." I wouldn't be caught dead riding either one of them "as transportation" on Seattle's streets, and I, too, view the clip-on or toe-cage pedal as "diabolical" if not suicidal.

So, Ms. Kannas, anytime you'd like to usurp Mr. Kannas' column, I'd like to hear from you.
