There's one in Upstate New York. I grew up a bit down the road from it.

My commute today was good. I rode through a snarly car jam in the morning and had a good quarter mile up Ridge from Granville (for those playing along in Chicago) all to myself. I was also early leaving the house, and there were fewer people getting into and out of cars, so while I didn't know the schedule of which blocks would be clear of parking, I did have better odds of not getting doored on my birthday.

Coming home was sad. I rode to the LBS (Uptown Bikes) to drop the new bike off for a 30-day checkup. Walking home was weird.
