There are tons of bike shops around here, and lots of people buying bikes, but its apparently all for recreation, except, seemingly, for me and the occasional illegal on a wal-mart Magna mountain bike. Occasionally, I will pass someone on a bicycle on weekday mornings, but none of them appear to be commuters because there are no regulars. Whats even sadder is that I work on a college campus and I've never seen a bike here except my own.
