How does it feel to be in last place? Sort of terrible, actually.
I was reading the latest post over on lets go ride a bike and, after reading about Trish's disappointment over Tennessee's low ranking on the League of American Bicyclists list state's bike friendliness, I decided I would check Alabama's. I knew it would be low, but I certainly didn't expect that we would be in the very last spot. Number 50; seriously harsh!

While it's no good to find your state in last place, in something you love, I think it's a compliment to you and your friends. You're preaching the bike gospel to some real heathen! It's all lot tougher when you don't feel like you're getting much support, but your successes will be that much sweeter. No where to but up!

I don't take a whole lot of stock in surveys and statistics in general...most are skewed to the advantage of who ever paid for the survey...
ReplyDeleteKEEP ON RIDING!!!

How did Mississippi beat out Alabama?
ReplyDeleteWorse than a low score is an unreasonably high score that is not deserved (it means you can't get people concerned about their crappy performance, to fix things). "See, we're not doin' nothin' and got 36th, not bad!" Welcome to Texas...
ReplyDeleteHarsh is right.
ReplyDeletePeople like you doing what you do will eventually change that though.
Keep up the good work.
It is so awesome that you are doing something to change that ranking -- congrats! I'll be in B'ham this weekend; maybe we can meet up for coffee and a quick ride on Sunday?
ReplyDeleteTrish-we are actually planning a group ride on Sunday...you should join us! I will email you the details. sounds fun!
