So it's officially Bike to Work day in my city. I rode about six miles from my house to get downtown and was pleasantly surprised by the traffic, or lack thereof. Most of the roads are either very wide or multi-laned; only one truck got too close to me. It was a gorgeous morning, perfectly blue sky, about 52 degrees. A little cool, but in a good way. I got downtown just in time for a gathering of the mayor, city council members and cyclists. The mayor and some reps. of our cycling club spoke. He signed a resolution to make Greenville more bicycle-commuting-friendly. The turnout was decent; there was free coffee, juice and bagels for everybody--nice! Several of my cycling friends were there as well. There were some cameras, so it should be on the news. I work two miles from my house, so I rode back out of town, past my house to campus, and just really enjoyed the sunshine and the blue sky. It was a nice way to start the day and support local cycling efforts, all at the same time. This summer we will be moving downtown, so now I am considering riding my bike to work at least a few days a week, especially in the summer when it doesn't really matter how I look when I get there.
