What, Hummer wasn’t on the list? I thought scooters would’ve been higher on the list, with their sales and the addition of scooter parking.

Heh, I bussed around through the snow today. Wasn’t too bad, but the most I had to wait at a stop was maybe 10 minutes. ;)

COTA FTW 2009!!!!

Thank you for convincing me to ride my bike today instead of walking or busing through the snow. Sometimes I need a reminder that my bicycle is the best transportation option out there! We should get the B1 Van to steal Walker in! Or maybe a bike car!

We’ll make you an offer you can’t refuse…

Hahaha…. that might be what it takes to get the bike off the backburner. ;)

You keep saying that…

One of these we’ll just roll a van up to the KLD, grab you and hustle you down to B1. Then off to Monday Night Ride.

Perhaps THIS year will be the year I get my bike fixed (or get a new one). ;)

No doubt.

Agreed. And looking back, I think a lot of the more heated arguments needed to happen so that those on opposing sides could vent their frustrations and some middleground could be found for some issues.

This makes me all kinds of happy.

Despite a lot of the love (or hate) that spawned on these boards, there were some good discussions and some good actions-like Critical Manners-taken. It should be a good year for bikes.

Motorcycling got a lot of love in 2008. Two wheeled parking spaces spread throughout the city. Scooters were being sold out.

I’m surprised it was beat by COTA.
