  3. How great it must be to see such numbers of female riders! It still seems like a male-dominated scene here in my small Pacific NW town and even in pdx itself. Though there are more of us all the time!

  4. i saw lots of angry people bitching at the muni stop. i wanna stop and tell them that by the time muni comes, you can go get coffee and ride your bikey downtown, while seeing all these awesome things around the city while amusing yourself. all before even getting to work. oh people get a bike!!
    LOL

  5. @emma j: it is refreshing to see a lot of women riding around on their way to work. but my first few minutes through a newish route were definitely male filled, and i was a little bummed thinking, "where my chicas at?" but when i got closer to market street (aka, a main artery of SF), i saw a whole bunch of women. and it pleasantly surprised me. yay :)
