I've recently been riding my bike to work more. With the gorgeous weather and the high gas prices, it feels good on my pale, white skin and keeps my pocketbook nice and fat. Here are some scenes from my ride to and from work today. (The last shot is of this hay field I ride by on my way home. I love the smell of fresh cut hay.)While Tigard's streets are friendly to cyclists, Tigard's motorists are not quite so much.
To the driver of the Toyota 4x4 that felt the need to suddenly accelerate by me after he almost hit me trying to merge, I have this to say: "I'm not impressed by your masculine sounding pick-up truck. You should know that racing stripes are always a bad idea."
And to the woman who felt the need to cut her right turn early, therefore cutting me off, hear this: "Get out of my bike lane. If you were supposed to drive in it, there would be a white Lexus SUV painted on the street."

Very proud of you riding your bike to work. Would be nice if things in Texas weren't so huge that you could do that here. But my commute of 70 miles round trip would never work. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE your comment to the lady who cut you off. Kudos!
