Anyone that goes to UC Davis, or has ever been to the city of Davis, is aware of the fact that people love their bikes. I mean it is actually frightening how much people love their bikes.

On any given afternoon you can see the streets flooded with a wave of bikers cruising down the streets, but there is a special “biker” amongst the mere civilians peddling everyday, and these individuals go by the name of the “fixies.”

Yes, I know many of you have been wondering who these god-like beings with their tan shirtless bodies and unkempt hair are. Like Robin Hood and his Merry Men, they take from the rich and give to the poor, but in this case they pass on the knowledge of the damaging effects cars can have on our environment.

They even have their own makeshift church where they preach these messages from the quad, and (if you can believe this) the name of this establishment is “The Bike Church.” Although the association between bikes and church is somewhat amusing, it is quite a commendable topic that they have taken on. So what can we all learn from these diehard bicyclist? Saving the environment could be as simple as ridding our bike to school every once in a while.
