This is the last day of May and the last day of the Bike to Work Month Challenge. Mr. Rambler, whom I met for pints of Guinness the other day at Ceol (my favorite new bar with it’s no smoking, no gaming and friendly owner, Ron) rode over 500 miles on his cross town commute.

Wish I had a picture to post. Perhapse one of the zero fans of this blog could photoshop something for me…
