FLCC> Biking to work

[Kent Johnson]

Hello -

In regard to the number of cyclists out there ... In the City of Ithaca, I see a lot of cyclists, everyday, all year long. Of course I see fewer in the winter, but still I will see a few on my ride/walk to work everyday. (I saw 3 people bicycling past my window while I wrote this email)

As an experiment, try to see if you can travel more than one block downtown without seeing a parked bicycle or one in use.

Take care,
Kent

Technically you saw infinitely more cyclists than you usually do (4  
compared to 0 => 4/0 = infinity). I dunno, it sounds cooler to me at  
least, haha.
