I discovered this cool site, EcoVelo, just in time for their “Why I Bike” photo contest. Click here to see my Baby Jake in all his glory.
While you’re at it, browse through the other “Why I Bike” photo entries — some of the photos (and stories) are simply spectacular. If those photos don’t make you want to go out and jump on a bike, I don’t know what will (but I’ll keep trying to motivate you, anyway). Entries include people and bikes of all shapes, sizes, and ages, many with amazing scenery. I’ve never done any bicycle touring, but it might be time to change that.
Her Green Life 
Great photo! Love the cityscape in the background.
By the way, I’ve been saving all my plastic so I can take a picture of it.
I felt a bit intimidated by, and envious of, some of the other backgrounds, but I really do like riding my bike around St. Louis, and maybe someday I’ll get to bike in some of those other breathtaking settings.
My week of plastic collection continues as well. So far, not much, but the next 3 days should be interesting!
