I thought I had life pretty good in Maryville (aka Mayberry) but Fort Collins, CO rocks. This morning at 6:30, I took off on a bike around Horse Tooth lake. It was goregous… cool air, clear skies, and no crowds. In fact, Colorado state is one of the healthiest places I have ever been - it seems everyone is into the outdoors. On the drive from Boulder to Rocky Mountain National Park, I must have seen more than 50 bikers in a five mile stretch. Then I wake up this morning to read the Fort Collins Coloradoan newspaper and there’s a great article entitle Bike Library Booms. It seems Fort Collins loans bikes to ANYONE who has a library card. In Denver, during the Democratic National Convention, bikes kiosks will allow visitors to rent bikes for the week.  I wonder if Barrack will be recumbent bike around town? How about John McCain cruising on a beach cruiser? The only thing more humorous would be seeing McKain and Barrack riding a tandem bike with Hillary sitting on the handle bars. Now that would REALLY make Colorado Cool.
