I know this has been mentioned already, but....
Geez, I am seeing so MANY more people on their bikes lately around our rural village area. And they are not 'roadies' in spandex- they are just all different regular folks, from teens to old people, and lots of them with either a backpack or with plastic crates strapped to their bikes for errands.
It's SO COOL.

The more bikes there are on the roads, the more cars will have to accept their presence.
