Just back from Portland....

This is what it's like to be a cyclist there......


Well, ok, not really.  It's just a comic from the Onion.com (meaning this is satirical folks), but to me it illustrates a pretty funny point with regards to drivers in Reno.  Drivers don't want to be bothered with cyclists using lanes on "their" roads and impeding their speedy progress. 

Now that there are a few bike lanes around Reno, there really are areas where it's faster (and now safer) to get around by bike.  And if your speedy and catch the lights right you really can outpace a car for miles at a time (Mill St. is definitely one)!  You know every time you pass a line of cars queued up and then catch the light as it changes to green this is how they feel!
