Thanks for the encouraging words Jonathan.
I've been trying to stay out of this one 'cuz it saddens me when people are so judgmental about other bike riders and even the style of riding they do.
I rejoice when I see someone riding a bike... ANYONE riding a bike these days. I usually wave or nod, with a smile if they're pretty.
