Anybody else "discovered" biking to work in the last week or so? I rode today for the second time - first time was a week ago when gas prices hit their all-time high - it was awesome! Can't believe it took $3+ per gallon gas prices to convince me to go ahead and give it a try. It's only 5 miles and although the area I work in is a little rough, I found a beautiful route that follows the river and arrives at the office on the opposite side of the worst stuff. Along the river are all nice homes and quiet streets so it's safe and peaceful - very pleasant. The best part of all is that most of the drivers are actually going out of their way to be courteous. That never would have happened even a month ago when gas prices weren't as high. Some of my coworkers are actually talking about giving it a try, too.--

Maybe this cycling thing will finally start getting a little respect - has the time come?
