I have been riding my bike to school for 1,5 year now. The same way to and from school every day and I can’t say I miss the crowded 16 buss. I quitted buss becuase you get more stressed up when riding the buss than on any other place… At least on the buss I must use. Another reason was to save some money (~500SEK / Month).

Anyway. When I went to school yesterday I saw this new LED sign that told me I was number 600 going there that day (the photo is from today, that’s why the numbers don’t make sense). At first I couldn’t find any use of such a sign, but after some a while I did feel something special with that sign.

The magic about that sign, might be that I’m an IT-geek that loves unnecessary info. It might also be that I feel happy about that trip becuase I can think about a number and se how close I can get every day (and again are you reminded that I’m into IT). It made me happy, and happy is good!

I talked to Adam (who also did put down the buss-thing a while ago) about this sign on the way home and we agreed on that promoting bikes in cities is something that should be high priority, mostly becuase it’s much neater to go by bike.

We also came to the conclution that we promote biking just by riding our bikes (not in the way up the hill though), which is something we like. So we are all winners today!
