Perfect weather! Everyone was out on their bikes or running on the trail this afternoon. I ran into a friend walking her dogs, saw an old ditch i used to shred in my BMX days, and am now ready to e... read more

My ride home is fun because I can push it and not worry about getting sweaty, so after I bought a spare tube (I carry a patch kit but like the feeling of comfort knowing it's there!) I headed home ... read more

You know, I was just thinking on my long weekend ride that cyclists are MORE friendly than runners! All the cyclists I saw waved, but very few of the runners I've seen lately even acknowledge my existence. "Hey you! I know you saw me a block away! At least give me a little nod!"

the runners have zero excuse not to wave! On the bikes though, if someone is in the drops and really cranking it, it can be tough to disengage and wave. Runners? Just wave that water bottle - your hands are out there anyway! I will continue to do unscientific testing on this, and hopefully shame the running and cycling communities into being more friendly ;)

the farther you are on the trail, the friendlier the people are. the friendliest trail I've ever been on was Emigrant trail in Truckee, everyone one said hello how are you, have a great run etc.. with smiles on their face you know they meant it. Local trails are the best. No Tahoe tourists who don't even know what On Your left means.

@Jose, I've noticed (and done it myself) that cyclists in the drops just sort of stick out their fingers a bit so the thumb and palm are still on the bar. It works!
@Ivy, I discovered a corollary to your theory: the worse the weather, the more likely runners are to wave. I think it's an acknowledgement of "Yeah, we're crazy alright!"

This is great! And I bet those runners are still talking about the bicyclist who wasn't cussing at them for once! I've been talking for eons about trying to commute to work by bike, and I've even driven a couple routes in an attempt to find non-death-inducing roads. Now you're inspiring me to keep that idea in mind.

Teresa - it's not like running, it's not the same, fun but a more mellow fun. I couldn't run to work that's for sure! I'd be a sopping mess.
Layla - thank you! I say you do it. You know google has that 'bike route' feature right? It's rough but it does an ok job.8 months ago • Like

Yeah, the catch is that Google doesn't know about construction. Riding on a busy, fast four-lane road that has no shoulders right now = sure death.
