bouncybouncy puts a question out there..."in the last few years (whether it be the two pres possibles in the last election were cyclist, the TdF, or the rising cost of gas...whatever it may be) have you noticed more cyclist out there??? or is just cause i am in to the sport now so i am just noticing the ones that have always been there???"

I think there are more people riding (BTW, nice ride to work today) and because I ride I get questions almost every time that I ride to work "gosh, I'd like to ride more". Of course I always point the gals to here ;-)

but as for the price of gas riders my question remains how do we get what I call "economic cyclists" the riders who ride 'cause they can't get licensed or can't afford it and look freakin' miserable about it to think of themselves as fellow cyclists? Had the elevator door closed in my face by one on BART, cut off by another on a turn....

Class issue?

Do they resent me because I look like I also ride for fun?

Where's the jersey that says "Don't hate me. I'm really not rich, just a poor gal with a really cool bike!"
