Maybe someday we will all run into each other -- perhaps at the free breakfast in downtown Raleigh on Bike-2-Work Day (May 16).
Amen to all of the above. Though there are 3(!) other pretty regular commuters here in my building.
I've seen one or two other commuters on parts of my route, but frankly my route is not for the faint of heart (for anyone who knows the area, it's Lumley Road to S. Miami Blvd, S. Miami Blvd to Alexander Dr., and Alexander to Cornwallis Rd.) so it's no surprise I don't see more. I'd love to live over by the American Tobacco Trail and have the opportunity to see more of us.
I wish I could get over to the free breakfast in Raleigh, but it's many miles out of my way.
