True Story: I ride the bus from Santa Cruz with “Sharon.” She works at Adobe and recently attended SXSW in Austin, where she told me she rented a bicycle.
“Austin has these wide one way streets,” she told me this morning. “I can’t go fast and I didn’t really know how to get across four lanes of traffic for a left turn. I started to follow somebody who looked like he knew what he was doing and saw him riding in the middle of the lane.”
Sharon shrugged and continued, “I tried it too and I felt a lot safer. Nobody crowded me and changing lanes was cake.”
Take the lane for safety and convenience.

Taylor Anderson, who was last seen riding her bike in Ishinomaki, wasn’t as lucky: She’s the first known American casualty from the disaster in Japan. The 24 year old school teacher from Virginia worked for Japan Exchange and Teaching Program (JET). With condolences for her family, friends and students.
