Subject:What do Vanagon drivers ride?

How about bicycling?

We have to admit the Vanagons are not the cleanest vehicles in the
world--my Vanagon pollutes at least 100 times what my '96 Passat GLX VR6
does.  And the Vanagon passed its latest emissions test three years ago
in Metro Atlanta

To compensate, I have a 1998 Jamis Coda (bicycle) and a pair of feet and
I now live in a town it's possible to walk many places when it's not
bitterly cold (and even sometimes when it is). Iowa City, Iowa.

How many others of us combine serious (bi)cycling with their Vanagon
ownership?
