In my opinion, progress has been made but there is a long way to go. I feel that it starts with education as many drivers don't understand what its like to be on a bike with cars flying by. Personally, I love the idea of bike lanes. I actually feel like I own part of the road when cruising West Blvd. and Capital Ave. I dream of bike lanes up and down Farmington Ave. Will it ever happen in Hartford?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1580218268291985619.post-37317403947440136662008-05-28T17:33:00.000-04:002008-05-28T17:33:00.000-04:00How about Davis, CA then?

Bike lanes, commuter maps and bike parking are all good places to start. I could also use a decent microbrewery within city limits but that's for another blog.
