I like bike

Owen learned to ride his bike with no training wheels a few weeks ago, and now we are biking all over town. We biked over to the market this evening, for example - which went great except that he wiped out on the way home and scraped his knee. Most of the time it works fine, though.

Davis is full of bike paths and bike lanes and, well, bikers - we were named the most bicycle-friendly community in America by the League of American Bicyclists last October. We're very lucky that the town has done such a good job of making it easy to ride bikes here. It helps that it's flat as a board and (virtually) never snows.

One thing I notice when biking to campus, though, is that while huge numbers of people are biking, almost none of them ever wear a helmet... except me. My old roommate was hit by a car on her bike and that helmet possibly saved her life. She couldn't remember her name, but she remembered her Group Health ID number. Wear your helmet!
