I've noticed more cyclists too. I commute occaisionaly for a few years now, not as often as I would like. There seem to be more now, and co-workers are asking me about it. I answer questions when I can and of course steer the women here (hello? anyone here work for da'phone co? Maria? hi!!)

Most won't do it, at my job attendance policies are so strict that one flat tire....so if you don't know how to plan a route it's scarey. Plus most of my peers are very sedentary but keep riding all of you, it's inspiring to all and some may keep it up.

I rode on Thursday and took my mountain bike (a GT hardtail that's usually in the indoor trainer). Could not wipe the grin off my face, now i think I'll get it cleaned up and ride that in the future.
