I was impressed with how many cyclists I saw in Albuquerque this morning. Some were obviously just out for an early ride, but a surprising number appeared to be actually commuting (assuming people don't go on recreational rides with all that gear!) Plenty of volunteers at the table, but even more cyclists - some faces I see regularly on the MUP, and some that I haven't seen before.
Even if it gets someone out of a car for one day a year, I don't see how Bike To Work Day could be anything but good. |

Were you in the group that left around 8:15? I was expecting a more leisurely pace.

See you next year unless you see me first. ;)
you fixed that flat fast, that was very surprising, if I had flatted I would have been done, would have taken me 10-15 minutes at least. also, in four years of cycling in this area that was my first time ever riding in the DC proper. |
I didn't happen to ride past any of the BTWD events (I reverse-commute from Annandale to Tysons Corner.) Saw lots of slightly wobbly folks heading the other way on the portion I followed on the W&OD trail though. Nice to see them out.
I only had one near-death experience with a newbie, so that's pretty good right there! |
