Today I saw another biker going my direction. An older gentleman, who was probably retired (or on a day off) riding around.
I actually saw a few real commuters on Wednesday - one before the Ride of Silence (who wasn't headed there), and a dude on a folder with a bunch of gear for lights at the ride. In "Biketown" Irvine, there sure aren't a lot of bikers, and a whole heck of a lot of impatient SUV drivers. Yay for suburbia!
