I've already seen four in the Atlanta area. I have been here 10 years and have never seen anyone attempt to ride a bike in this traffic and lack of bike lanes.

But hey, things are so much better in Bush's America.

2. Hundreds everyday
Of course, I'm not in Bush's America, I'm in Toronto - where the Mayor takes the subway to work.

3. Local news in Phoenix did a story about increased use of buses.
What was cool was, they pointed out that most of these people discovered that buses are pretty nice. Hopefully there will be a bit of a positive feedback loop here. As more people use them, more people will become comfortable with them.

And we've been having unusually hot weather. And this is not a bike-friendly city.

They also did a thing on the local news about the increased use of buses.
