Notable local news events. Neighborhood family of 4 decides to not use gasoline on July 4: they all ride bikes to the church pool party. Area man keeps me updated about how often he rides his bike to work. Local family considers selling one of their two cars since husband/dad will ride his bike to work daily.
I like to think that we played at least a small part in the above events, and maybe even a few more. Before gas became expensive people used to ask us if we rode everywhere to save money. Certainly I especially am a bit of a cheapskate, but we rode because we like to ride. My hope is that many other people find that riding a bike or walking on regular outings -- to work, church, grocery store, Pop-pop's water ice, etc. can be fun. And perhaps that driving to the gym to work out would seem silly.
Our somewhat rainy seaon has begun. So far, this is the most water we've seen in our local arroyo that is usually seco.
