Parking Problems! Yay!

[sciphi]

Today after an hour's ride I stopped at an area Publix. I pull up to the bike rack, and it's full! That's never happened to me before. It's a good sign that more folks are using their bikes for errands and not merely toys.

This is one parking problem I'll gladly put up with!

it's not too cold yet? well, exercise is an extra benefit too.

Temperatures have been in the mid-70's lately. Today it's 55 and cloudy. This week is supposed to be mid-60's during the day, mid-40's at night. Perfect riding weather.

Soon we'll have to start talking about what kind of bike chain oil we're using!!!

There's a "too cold"?

Not in South Carolina I hope!

In Saskatchewan, maybe...

Or the court took their driving privileges away.

Identifiable by the prison tattoos...

Courts can and do take driving privileges away on a whim. Even to solid middle-class citizens who were not driving drunk, incarcerated, or arrested for wrongdoing.

Also, these bikes were not blue-light specials. There were a few Treks and a Cannondale hybrid.

My fiancée and I went riding in Seattle on Saturday night. We had the same problem all over the city! It was great to see everyone in the city going by bike. If I didn't think I'd be ban from this forum, I might even make some smart a$$ remark about secretly hoping for higher gas prices (oops, did I say that out loud)

Around here, those without a driver's license, drive mopeds!

 

[sciphi]

Yes they do!

Or if they're respectable-looking, have a clean moped, and are buzzing around downtown wearing a helmet and a backpack, they're USC students tired of horrible car parking.

The bike situation on USC's campus is not much better at times. I'm glad I have an indoor area where I can keep an eye on my bike.

Bike racks full = the times, they are a changing.
