Cheers to all who ride!

I found this fun photo on the web. It's a little racy...but hey, we are all human here right?

A big cheers to all of you cyclists big and small, young and old, men and women. It's hard work competing the big cars and trucks out there. Today I'm reminded every which way I look that the car rules the world. I'm thankful for my bike lanes, but I love that the car lanes aren't littered with cans and sticks and even a PILLOW this morning! Ah well, that's life on the bike.

Another interesting thought today as I was passed by a "bike" with a motor on it.Now, do you call this a bike or??? and there's no license plate on it, but it's got a motor and a gas tank. So this one left me thinking for the ride back to work at lunch. I'm riding a bike to use less gas, make less of a dent on the environment and get a little workout to boot. Here's this guy going merrily along and I should say loudly along and I felt a little peeved about that. What do you say?

My legs are still tired from the WRT ride and a fun mountain bike ride on Monday morning with my good pal Sheri D. We did the classic freeway loop with chickadee ridge, then made our way over to Java in Hyde Park for a delicious coffee. It was a cool morning, perfect for riding, unlike the blasting hot from the days before. What a difference a day makes.

Let us all remember to look both ways before we cross and look twice, it may save a life.

OH, and I'm thinking of starting a Pretty Dress Sunday Ride here in Boise. Let me know what you think! I'll be posting this on Facebook too.

Until we ride again, Ciao!
