I have never seen as many people on bikes this morning. Amazing. I left a little later than usual, traffic was unusually light for a Wednesday, and I must have seen/passed 15 people. A 300% increase over the norm.
And not just the "So When Did You Get Your DUI?" bicyclists, or the crystal-meth addicts, but people actually commuting! Most well-to-do people who ride bikes do ride everywhere: the $2200 machines, on top of their Jettas, jetting up to Howell Mountain Road, out to Sonoma & Wine Country, meandering about Valley Springs, Ione, or Sutter Creek. Riding everywhere...except to work.
So I am completely recanting my previous post regarding no behavior changes. Apparently, $3.60 gas is the tipping point for some.
