NEWSFLASH: There is Tension Between Bikes and Cars!
All sarcasm aside, this is a good article about the benefits and issues of more bikes on the road. There is a lot of eduction that needs to happen on the part of both drivers and cyclists, not to mention major infrastructure work, to make cycling more of a real option for people. We can sigh all we want about how everyone bikes in the Netherlands, why can't we, but they started planning for a cycling infrastructure a generation ago. Same with Portland, OR. It's going to take a little while for the rest of us to catch up.

Hey! Please feel free to moderate this message from posting onto your blog :)
I lost your email address and I have a new one.
So anyway, you've popped into my mind a number of times lately. I've spent too much time at swim meets this summer, which reminds me of Kate. And I'm in love with Fred on XM--do you have this? Every day is like listening to high school and college all over again. Life changing.
I'm not sure how this works, but can you email me back?
Hi, I can't see your email, so can't email you, but you can reach me at pdavis_807 at yahoo.
Glad you got in touch; I've been thinking about you, too! It's been a while! And now, I'm getting in touch with folks from h.s. in facebook, which is very cool and also odd....
