My job has me driving to the Seattle area a couple of times a week. Maybe it's the nature of the economy over the past few years but I have been seeing a significant increase in the number of cars carrying bikes this summer vs. prior years. Not only modern bikes but also C&V ones - saw a beautiful blue, steel Gios yesterday with a modern drivetrain, and a couple of Cannondales last week. Just wondering if everyone else is seeing this as well. It seems like cycling itself is making a little comeback. Heck, even on the backroads around here I'm seeing a lot more new riders every week (and the college doesn't start back up again for a month). I'll remain positive that cycling is on the upswing
