Bikes vs Planes

I saw a photo of cyclists on the closed I-405 over the weekend, but until I read this piece in Slate, I didn't know that there was a challenge afoot: some cyclists bet they could beat a Jet Blue flight from Burbank to LAX. You'll have to read the piece to see who won, and by how much. (See? There are some metrics in this story.) Feel free to comment on bike vs. other transit options in your area.
