I just bought a nice commuter's pannier, so I can stop using a backpack. Nice to have the breeze on my back.

I use to always use a backpack. Became a 'pain' quite litterley, also some stores started a policy where you were no longer allowed to bring in your backpack in or you'd have to leave it at the front counter (though I just completely stopped shopping at those stores)

Now I have two rear folding pannier baskets and a front basket.

I used to live in a small town and didn't even own a car. Everything was so close I just biked everywhere. I loved the simplicity of not having to go to gas stations, paying insurance, or worrying about the car getting damaged or breaking down.

Biking is the way to go. I'd like to see more 'yellow bike' programs in urban areas. The concept is awesome.

I do not drive so I bike everywhere. the only annoying thing is a lot of drivers are extremely rude even when the crosswalk thing shows the symbol for me to cross they are always turning into the crosswalk. luckily I have a good eye and good breaks and I have not been hit by a car. I also hate when stupid immature kids like to yell really loud at bikers.

people in my town have all been getting those silly e-bkes! they are a good idea, if you are replacing a car, but a bad replacement for a good old fashioned bike!

I'm an old born again bicycler. I finally found one I could afford last week at a garage sale for $10. For the last couple of years I have pretty much walked everywhere and the occasional ride along to somewhere. So far, it's been a blast.

peace
