It's true that your bike probably doesn't munch on carrots (neither does my horse but that's besides the point), but both horses and bikes get you from point A to B, both are fast...horses can gallop at 36-40mph, they require a lot of strength on the part of the rider, and they are both ways to find freedom. As far as captain of the planeteers, Captain Planet was only on the air for a few years so technically, his reign as captain is over and it's about time a new one stepped in. THird, I'll come and ride when I have a bike and/or you come and climb. Really.....
