Riding in Edmond is brave, indeed! You must live fairly close to the college/downtown area if you ride to the Library. Anytime I see someone on a bike using it for utilitarian purposes around here I get VERY excited!

Yes- the wind is definitely something to contend with on a daily basis. No hills- but I think I'd rather have hills than constantly blowing wind. At least with hills you get stronger and get to coast- I've yet to get stronger riding into the wind.
LOL, I don't know how brave I am, but I am very careful!

I live just east of Bryant on the northern side of Edmond and to get to the library I cut through neighborhoods and go through campus so it isn't too bad. When I am riding the road bike I go north and either east or west to get out of town where there is less traffic and more open road. For the most part drivers around here are okay, e.g., when they pass they give us enough room. When they don't, I sometimes find myself flipping them off with 3 fingers (Give us the 3 feet of space BY LAW you are required to!)

I'm sure they wonder what that crazy woman is doing!!

We have the law (and in Edmond a city ordinance) but the public still doesn't know about it so I feel it is my civic duty to educate them when I can!
