I don’t see you every morning, but when our paths cross, you heading in the direction of Group Health Hospital, me heading to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, you always wave or call out “Good morning!”  You on a road bike, sleek, confident, strongly pedaling up the hill.  Me on my upright Green Granny bike, but proud to be part of the cycling-to-work crowd.  Thanks for brightening my day!

Give a shout-out to a special cyclist (or bike) you’ve spotted around town, and we’ll publish it here. 

I had to make sure that your efforts were also known.  I saw you pedaling down the street with a Christmas tree, a 7 foot Douglas Fir on…not your trailer, not your Xtracycle, but…on your BACK.  Strapped to your back, making you unsafe under doorways and keeping smelling air freshener fresh, I saw you and the two drivers who honked at you and gave you the wave and the thumbs up sign.  I wish I could have seen how you’d strapped it to your backpack, but thank you for not making any excuses about the Christmas spirit.
