The Unintended Cute Butt Consequence

I try and extol as many people (especially women) as I can talk to about the virtues of commuting by bicycle. For the most part, I have altruistic motivations for this. Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, reduction in oil-consumption (and thereby reduction of the cost of feedstock chemicals, gas, diesel and heating oil, and therefore reduction in money for awful regimes in awful parts of the world), reduction of wear on the roads (reduction of money spent on road maintenance), reduction of traffic, and the list goes on. More bicycle commuters also means that more places will take cyclists needs seriously and have more incentive to install bike lockers and showers (not to mention bike racks). More cyclists means more people demanding dedicated bike lanes, and also an improved car-to-cyclist ratio (safety in numbers). There is an unintended consequence here as well, Butt Cuteness. As a non-attached, traditional male I have a vested interest in both maintaining a cute butt and having women around me with cute butts. You may judge me crass for saying this, but cute butts are attractive and butt maintenance takes time. In the busy world in which we inhabit, being able to commute to work, reduce stress by exercise, improve the environment and maintain a cute butt, all at the same time, is multitasking at its best. That cycling also improves the calves, waist, back and the all important cardiovascular system makes it hard to justify not cycling to work.
