For Be Bop day (which I had never heard of until it was over) I, um, biked
to work. Good commuting, David, and thanks for the acknowledgement.
Bob, the one piece of advice I have for you is to bike as if you have a
right to the space. There is nothing less safe, in my experience, than
mincing
Sadly, I did not Be Bop to work either, but I did Be Bop to a training
ride...I'm not sure that counts...riding your bike to a bike ride?
Great advice from Robin to commuters. Especially about asserting yourself.
With practice in traffic, before you know it you will be aware of the
vehicles
Who Be Bopped and how did you do it?

I have been taking the 94G bus from North Minneapolis into downtown for
over 2 years now. Of course today, B-Bop day, I woke up late, missed the
bus, and had to burn fossil fuels to get me to work! UGH!
I am actually going to start biking the 6 miles starting in June. I have

in the Lyndale Neighborhood, and therefore I am right on an express.
It took me two years of living up here (and lots of convincing from peers)to
get on the bus--and now that I did, I can not believe it took me so

this goes directly to Ken Avidor, Gary Hoover, Robin Garwood and all the
other bicyclists who made me rethink the necessity of my carbon-based trips,
especially the short ones during good weather. Also thanks to the 50th
Oh was it be bop to work day.I thought I saw more ponies out today.
Good for you that make be bop a more than yearly occurance. I on the other hand can't
wait for the
snow and ice after the long hot summer. Insanity keeps some of us young.I'll be

year old on a 150 year
Full points for all you bikers!
My wife said that more people would take the bus, but it doesn't go

rational transportation bill that would actually allow for east-west
routes between
