I talked to a guy that lives in the Los Angeles area and he lives close enough to walk to work. His problem is two things first there is no safe way to walk to work and traffic is terrible when it takes over an hour to get 5 miles.
Look at that pic. On a bike you can legally thread your way through that mess. DAH. Another thought re: that pic of L.A. traf****: a few more condoms would go a long way towards solving that problem.

Re: bicycle chain pant leg stains: A combination of things helps: 1) the leg band 2) don't over oil the chain! Studies have shown really dry chains to be as efficient as really messy ones. The lube's main purpose is to keep corrosion and contaminants at bay.
