Why are our priorities so skewed? We know how horrible these things are and yet we still insist on driving and producing them.
Helmet hair cover!
Just won this awesome trucker hat from Clif Bar's 2 Mile Challenge! I have been logging my miles there and on May Is Bike Month and although I mostly just do it for the swag, these are very important tools to gather data about who is riding, where, and how we can get others to join. Mostly, however, I just like the free stuff...
Healthy pit stop. Thanks, Kaiser!
More free things that way!
BikeFest fun!
Too much fun at BikeFest.
We've still been on the Mundo every day this month. Yesterday was BikeFest which holds a special place in my heart because I won a bike last year! Although I didn't win anything this year, we still had a wonderful time and got some good riding in, supported by some awesome Energizer Stations. There were so many great bikes out on the trail and on the road, it was wonderful.
Since it is Bike Month, it has been nice to have extra riders around--safety in numbers, of course. I just wish they could keep it up all year. Unfortunately, there are still the uneducated drivers out there, yelling mean things like "irresponsible" out the window when I'm trying to make a proper right turn from the proper right turn lane (there were two and I needed the outside one). However, my day was not marred and we wolfed down some amazing Doughbots during our Little Loop ride and made a few other errands on the way home. I also just finished talking with a reporter from the Sac Bee who is doing an article on May Is Bike Month and I look forward to seeing it in the paper next week. I'm not looking forward to any backlash there may be, especially after Kate's letter from Mr. Brown of Ione. There will always be those who are afraid of change but there is a big difference between being afraid and being aware. I choose awareness.

This is why I bike.
