I know my question must sounds silly but I went riding yesterday and the bike path was absoultely MOBBED - almost unrideable. People were yacking away or listening to their iPods. One skater bumped me because they were so tuned out. I think a nice sounding bell would be a convenience feature for such rides.

Los Angeles has gotten a lot more crowded since I first moved out here, though, it's easy to understand why. It was about 80 degrees and sunny today. A warm gentle breeze was blowing. At sunset, the water was a mixture of deep blue and gold reflecting off the sky.
