Remember Brent? I convinced him to ride with me again Friday and it ended up being a positive experience. Maybe I can get him to do another guest post extolling the virtues of the Long Haul Trucker.

Cycling Public Account Counts Public Cycles

It's almost a palindrome.

I helped out with the Transit for Livable Communities Bike Walk Fall 2009 count, tracking bicyclists and pedestrians this afternoon on the Hiawatha LRT trail a few blocks from the Metrodome. Thankfully I stayed dry while ominous clouds threatened from the west, and I had a great excuse to look at bicycles for a few hours. I'm pretty sure I saw the trucker twin that I mentioned a few weeks back.

I'll post results as soon as they're released by TLC. Also, I scored a sweet t-shirt that says "I count" on the back which I'll snap a picture of and post soon.

Week 41 (Aug 31 - Sept 4)

Summary:

Week 41
Monday - Bicycle

My excuse for Thursday and Friday is that I was in Cedar Falls, IA for a recruiting event at my alma mater. Would have been a little tough to bike that one.

I'm too tired to rehash any specifics from the week, and the week to come is going to be crazy so I figured I'd get the summary up and move on. I hope everyone's Labor Day was as good as mine.
