On the way home Tuesday I saw FIVE other commuters (not roadies). I don't think I saw 5 commuters all of last year. Here in SE Michigan, land of the car, if you're not driving you're nobody, so I didn't think even $10/gal gas would put people on bikes, but apparently it will work for some people.

Great riding lately. Nice weather.

One bad note; this morning a coworker who I had gotten excited about bike commuting, and who went out and spent about 3x more than I did on a nice Trek, had a clip-out failure, fell over and sprained her knee. She's at the ER now getting MRIs. I don't think this will put her off cycling but it may take her out of the saddle for a few months.
