Brina, I think you're in LF, right? Tell the village council (or is only LB a village? That's how long it's been since I've lived there, I don't remember...), anyhoo...tell 'em...tell 'em...that LANCE is planning to move there, but ONLY if they put in excellent bike lanes on all the roads.

I can absolutely picture the sidewalk/tree thing. And I agree with you about the replica jerseys. Um, really, you were on the Postal team? No? Personal friend of Lance's? No? Yeah, unless it's a gift from a friend, I don't wear the t-shirt unless I did the race.

The wheeley-ski things--this week I did my long ride on the south path. On the way back up, I came across a guy on those skis at a fairly narrow portion of the path. In response to my "on your left!", he graciously curtailed his broad arm movements, and coasted to the right until I passed him. He got a hearty "Thank you!", and my respect. He could teach the rollerbladers a thing or two.
