My 13.3 mile commute each way was awesome - nice and warm with a fairly strong tail wind going in and then the wind shifted and I had a bit of a tailwind on the way home. Seen on my way home: a family outing, mom and dad on their bikes with kid in the rack mounted kid carrier, all wearing helmets, but to my amazement riding on the wrong side of the street (yikes!!)....in as pleasant of a tone of voice as possible I yelled out "it's safer on the the other side"; also seen was a kid on a tricycle with mom walking behind him - I shouted "nice bike" as I rode by...both kid and mom had big smiles.
