Out--Golf; In--Cycling

I am amazed by the number of road cyclists whenever I head into the countryside around Tokyo on a weekend.  I was amazed 5 years ago, ... but the numbers just grow and grow.

Of course, it is not just Tokyo, or Japan, where cycling is hot.  In the U.S., cycling is now identified by even CNN Money as the hot sport for entrepreneurs, executives and professionals who want to network.

Golf-OUT.
Cycling-IN.

Of course, this has been true in Silicon Valley, San Diego/Orange County, and various parts of the East Coast for years.  But the word is now out, and CNN Money mentions Louisville, Kentucky, yes, KENTUCKY, as one such location.

Indeed, if Business Week ever gets around to a cover story, it will be proof the trend has run its course. But for now, the numbers grow and grow.
