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.

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.
