Hey, for the first time in years it is sunny skies for Pittsburgh's Bike to Work day! I made a special effort to leave home earlier so I could stop by the free breakfast downtown. I usually commute most days I can, except in the slippery winter days or when the morning temperature is in the low twenties or colder. The crowd at the breakfast was definitely younger--the coordinator of Bike Pittsburgh pointed a guy out to me who rode up and said he was great--"and in his fifties!" I laughed and said "So am I--I'm 52!" Pretty funny. But I admit, I was asking for decaf coffee, which of course they weren't serving. And I'll skip tonight's afterwork cyclist happy hour with local brew.

Our city is really moving forward and marking bike lanes on more and more streets, which is great.
