I love bicycles!

So I love to ride my bike.  My first bike, however, I hated.  It was purchased at Walmart at a very low price and was nothing compared to the bike I have now.  I have had a lot of car problems in the last three years so in a pit of frustration, I decided that I would buy a bike and be done with my car.  BEST DECISION I EVER MADE!!! Of course, I still use my car.  I work 3 jobs right now and tend to have a tight schedule, but on the days that I don't I try to ride my bike wherever I need to go.  The picture posted is a picture I took on my bike ride to work at the beginning of January.  It was such a beautiful bike ride.  I love bike riding because I get a chance to really get away from the real world and think.  Yes, I have to be in around people using the trails but it is a great sense of "me" time.  Especially, on my way to and from work.  I really enjoy it.  The only problem I have with riding my bike is that people in vehicles do not care and do not look.  I have had numerous times when I've had to tap on the hood of someone's car to get the to fully stop at a stop light.  It is frustrating but I hope that bike riding keeps catching on in Lincoln and the roads become more bike friendly.  I have attached a link that speaks on the advantages of riding a bicycle to show you some of its benefits.
