This is probably the most intelligent ad I've seen so far on the Craigslist Bicycles page:

Who better to ask for help in finding a lost dog than people who ride bikes in the area? This owner obviously realizes that cyclists are better able to see, hear and stop to investigate just about anything during their travels through the neighborhood.

The ad was deleted by its author the next day, so I'm hoping there was a happy reunion at the end of this story. And naturally, I'm also hoping there was a bike involved.

  2. People on bikes helps build community. I talk to so many more people on my bike than I ever would in a car.
