I know this because on the way to work today I encountered a very brown, very dry, very dead Christmas tree in the middle of the Lincoln Street bike lane.
Bike Year began on July 1, 2005 as a record of my efforts to use a bicycle, rather than a car, for daily errands. Originally imagined as a one year diary, it continues today as a repository for information about utility cycling and bicycle commuting in Savannah, Georgia. It was restarted on June 2, 2010, in response to the Deepwater Horizon disaster.
