Always heartens me that there are so many of us out there. When it is really miserable out, like snowy slushy crap, and I see all the bike ruts, I tell myself, 'Well they did it.'

(Took a detour to the Cloisters this morning rather than riding directly to work.) Interesting how much colder it was on the Cherry Walk with the wind blowing off the river than anywhere else on the bike path this morning. Heh -- I was there too!

Observational research is a cornerstone of good urban design. The trace elements you recorded are not only a living phenomena they are a reminder that we bicycle commuters are not alone or insignificant. While the horns, idling and jockeying of automobile congestion creates a constant reminder of their insolvency, the growing legions of bicycle commuters tread lightly and quietly on our fair city.

It's right there, 28th from the left. I recognize the tread pattern, and the little issue with my un-true wheel. Hey, I can see mine! It's right there, 28th from the left.
