I have to tell you all about yesterday's commute.

I rode from work to the Kerry/Edwards rally in downtown Dayton's Riverscape. Thousands of people there, along with closed roads and police/security everywhere. Didn't have to worry about parking, rode right up to the event gates (I didn't have a ticket) but I was right there straddling my bike and watching the candidates speak. Since they were so far away they all looked so tiny but John Kerry's height, blue shirt/red tie and silver hair were unmistakable!

There were TONS of bicycles there too, chained to everything imaginable! Even some of the Bush supporters rode bikes, too. Seems like some people are starting to get the message about how convenient bike are these days!
