I just saw a lady on Oprah that takes her whole family places on bikes. He two older ones on their own... and she pedals around three. I love that people are tired of the prices at the pumps and the bicycle idea sure is a great way to beat that.

I found your blog and I'm so excited! You have totally inspired me to go bike riding this weekend. I have to say Southern California has much better biking weather than Utah, but I love that you love autumn and bikes. You make me so happy. Yay for finding Krysta's blog!
