In the past couple of months, as gas rose above and then fell below the $4 mark, I thought I saw more bikes on the rode. And not just people-going-for-a-workout kind of bikes, but more morning commuters who in a sleepy, pre-cup-of-coffee haze pedal their various metal steeds to work while dodging potholes and cars, swearing and swerving at both.
At first I thought it was just coincidence, that I was just starting to "see" what was already there to begin with. But as the summers progressed (and dare I say, "as fall approaches"?) I'm starting to think that there really are more bikes on the road.
Am I (and the half-dozen commuters I pass each morning) alone in this belief? Are there really more commuters than ever?
