"Highway to Holiness" Isaiah 35:8

It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.  Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle. 

-- Ernest Hemingway

Beth rode Carmella to work today!  They arrived two minutes early!

Deb and Suzette passed their 100 mile mark of pedaling, today, as we tricycled south on County route 1! Suzette was adorned with boughs of lilacs cascading from her basket!  We plan celebrating this milestone event at Bev's on Sunday.

While we were biking south on 1A, Beth was the lead, Deb in the middle, Ruth the backdoor, it was so awesome!  Deb was drafting Beth. Ruth was drafting off Deb.  It was exciting to see us cycle in sync all along that corridor!  WWWWWWWWWaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh, Who!!!!!!!!

Bike boxes are a reserved space just for cyclists at intersections. They are marked ahead of the car stop line and behind the crosswalk to improve cyclist visibility. Bike boxes allow cyclists to filter forward and get in front of motorists so they can position themselves correctly for a turn. They're used at intersections with heavy traffic volume (cars and bikes) and frequent turning conflicts.
