Mean Atlanta Streets

Well, my efforts to become a bike commuter keep going. I have ridden my bike to work for 5 days in a row! Of course it hasn't been without incident. I think the one that annoyed me the most was yesterday morning when I was cut off by a driver and had to take quick evasive action to to the sidewalk to avoid being hit. Then had the pleasure of being scolded by a man walking his dog. Come on, I know that "the side WALK is for walkers, NOT bicycles". I was trying to not get hit by a car! I believe that his scolding would have been better directed at the driver of the car to "Share the Road".
On my way home tonight I met up with an acquaintance and neighbour of mine, Mike. It sure made the ride go by quickly to have some company.
I've been reading a few Toronto cyclist blogs the last couple of weeks.
Any Atlanta bike commuting bloggers out there?

New Habit

I actually rode my bike to work 2 days in a row! I guess I just need to do it for 26 more days for it to be a new habit.
Yesterday I got a flat on my way in and had to walk about 12 Atlanta blocks. In bike shoes. And even though it was morning it was already really hot. So, basically it can't get any worse than that.
It's supposed to be over 100 degrees by the time I'm going home and really poor air quality. It may not be the best idea, but I like to think that at least I'm not making the air quality any worse by driving, to avoid the bad air quality.

Because I'm soooo important

So I'm a bit of blog addict. I read 'em and I comment on 'em.
I imagine the bloggers on whose blogs I post comments may occasionally try to link back to see who's checking their stuff out. There was nothing but a few year old posts. Well that's not really fair is it. So if I'm going to comment, I should post. Just don't expect too much.
