In the 10+ years I've been bike commuting it's been pretty rare for me to come in contact with other riders. I've seen others out riding before, but they were usually going in different directions and in the course of a week I'll see a handful of others riders. It's usually me and the cars/geese/old people shuffling down the bike path etc.... But last night as I was waiting at this light (and I usually do end up waiting there) another bicyclist rode up and stopped next to me. I can't remember the last time that happened, and to make it even rarer the other rider was even an attractive woman. It may be another 10+ years until that happens again!
