• Great concept. The best way to support cycling and cyclists’ freedom to use the roads is to use those roads. And talk it up.

• Ah how I loved riding in Rochester. I am from there, and worked at nearly every shop at one time or another in the early to mid 90’s.

  Nice to see someone keeping things alive up there.

• Love your Podcasts of other bloggers. I think this is a great idea and look forward to hearing more bike blogger’s interviewed.

• Ok, I can take you up on that. It’s a good starting point for me, it sounds. I did dump our second car and buy myself a bike for transportation, ahem, but not quite in this weather. Long have I had a strong distaste for motor vehicles and their culture and long have I desired to be bike-dependent.

  The turning point came partially when we lost our home to foreclosure last year and we moved to Brockport. I love this community and everything is walking &/or biking distance. It’s perfect for me.

  And for a very, very long time I have had an ardent desire for the opportunity to do some bike touring. Income low, responsibilities (w/3 kids & DH) high, the time was not right. One of my New Year’s Resolutions this year was of retreat. I am hoping for more opportunities to do some biking and some short and long bike trips.

  An anecdote: After we moved here in August I got a job at the hospital. I’d worked there a few months, walking and biking to work. One day my supervisor telephones me with an attitude and tells me that a coworker reports overhearing me tell a patient that I lost my Driver’s License to a DWI and she had to fire me. No, I had no interest in arguing. And no, I have never had a DWI and my DL is tucked safely in my wallet. Idiots are everywhere.
