The cycling in my area has increased infinitely from 0 to 1. After fifteen years of not once seeing a bike commuter, I now see one almost every week. He usually has about 50 cars lined up behind him trying to get around, I had to pass him three times one day taking my daughter to school because he doesn’t stop at the lights.

He wars bright yellow reflective gear but I still fear for his life, a number of roads around here have bikes painted white on the shoulder in memory of someone who died. Maybe if he keeps slowing down cops and government types we will get bike lanes someday. I can dream anyway.
