151. Hometown Pride
I'm so proud of my hometown, having just finished its first dedicated bike lane. Barriers separate the two bike lanes from cars; they even have their own traffic lights.
But next week's mayoral election threatens progress. The anti-bike challenger makes misleading or simply false claims that bike lanes take away parking and slow down traffic. He also enjoys a substantial lead.

150. Spreading the Message
I have two colleagues who struggle with the same commute and now use the same bike-bus strategy that I do. Not every day, but often. When Emily first started working in the same department, we had talked about the commute, but I had no idea she was considering biking. She has small children at home, so the extra time of bike-bus vs car would be an issue. Mike, also relatively new to the company just heard about me and emailed, asking about how I did it. He works in the same building, but in a different department on a different floor, and I've never actually met him. The other day Mike emailed me saying he had converted to at least part-time bike-bussing and has liked it, and asking about my folding bike.
