Picture This on Oscar Sunday

So with the Oscars readily approaching, that means that Hollywood will be buzzing with movie and celebrity news.  The other day I came across an article on the Loving the Bike blog

In order to raise awareness about bikeing in the US, one bike commuter sent out a letter celebrities asking them to bike to the awards ceremony instead of taking a car.  His letter opens with:
“Some of you try to use your celebrity for good — especially if you get some good publicity doing it. I want to help you prepare for your most important commute of the year — whether you care about the planet, or if you just want to appear that you care. Quite a few of you like to be seen in your hybrid cars.

“But in terms of ‘making a statement,’ the hybrid thing kind of peaked in 2005. … I’d like to suggest something that would have real impact. Not just environmental impact, but the kind of impact that matters most to you: Chatter! You want to out-care DiCaprio? I’m suggesting that you arrive at the Oscars by bike!”
What a crazy cool idea right?  Well those of you who will be tuning in will have to keep me posted as I do not
