Hot off the presses, here's the new "Bike Friday" video!

I'm a fan of Rebecca Black's hit song "Friday" - an incredibly catchy tune with positive, good time-y lyrics performed by a talented teen (yes, underneath all that AutoTune she actually has a strong singing voice). The only thing that bothers me is that in the video Rebecca and her friends spend most of their time driving around and hanging out next to cars.

I wanted to spread the word that bicycles are a lot more fun, fun, fun, fun than cars, especially for kids. Bikes are a cheap, fast, friendly and cool way to get around and they don't stink up the environment like cars do. So I wrote some new bike-centric lyrics for Rebecca's song and shot a video with the hip kids and grown-ups from Chicago's Kidical Mass, a bicycle parade that happens every month (http://chicagokidicalmass.org).

Car or bicycle - which seat will YOU take?

Yes, I especially like the baby who's mom is making her dance in her baby sling.
