Well, just to inject some variety into my ride home I took this new route for the first time in 6 weeks.

First, an out-of-the-way section of a Backstreet had been paved oh, and bike Lanes had been painted. I heard myself exclaim, "Yes!"

Then, along the mile or so with the narrow, shoulderless Road, and high curbs, I found handicap accessible cutouts at all the intersections. So I was able to take the sidewalk!

And finally, along another half mile with no room for bikes on the roadway, the outer Lane has been repainted as a bike lane.

I actually let out a whoop and hollar!...and I'm not that kind of guy.

What a difference!

I know this doesn't affect most of you, but I thought I'd share my excitement.
