Mui bien, gracias (horrible spelling no doubt). Un poco Espanol, but my children (especially the 6 y.o.) are working on that. There is a lot less Spanish in our house since PBS took Salsa (children's Spanish show) off the air.

I'm old enough that EC was the standard way to bike when I learned. Only those sorry folks who didn't know any better did it differently. A lot changed in children's education during the 30-some years since then . I've read the EC book and I will be taking the Road I class next month.

Alternating days walking and biking is my plan, thanks for the re-enforcement.

My favorite for the yelling was when two guys in the bed of a pickup truck yelled that I should be on the sidewalk.
