“On a note of levity and in the spirit of Senator Durbin with the authorization of a study on the use of bicycles as a pilot program, I am going to pilot my program home tonight on my girls' bicycle which I bought for $20. It is one which I don't have to lock up because nobody would bother to steal it. It gets me here a lot faster than driving. I recall one day being behind an automobile of the junior Senator from New York which was stalled in the drive, and they had to push it out. I certainly recommend the amendment proposed by Senator Durbin, which suggests obvious benefits of the bicycling. It is much easier to get through security, and when the dogs come around you only have to worry about one thing. I yield the floor.”
