TriGirl - its amazing the number of cyclists here. At my office, they just added a second bike rack this spring. I wasn't sure if the mass increase in the number of cyclists was due to the weather finally drying out...or the gas prices. Turns out, it's both. And we aren't even in Portland proper - where there are even more cyclists!

The other commuters at my office say that the over-crowding on the 2 bike racks is a new thing this year. I go out to get my bike at lunch and there are bikes locked to signposts, lampposts, and all over the rack! And I've had bike traffic jams where I had to pedal along at a lazy pace because there were just too many other riders to get around! It's crazy!
