Good News!

Here's my testament to why I love ABQ.

I live in the student ghetto...a block away from the university. While my house faces south on Gold Street, my garage faces west on University (a busy street). So, every time we park our bikes in the garage, we open and shut the garage.

We rarely forget, but today, either we forgot or it didn't shut completely and bounced back up (something blocking?) and we didn't notice.

Carfree Central in ABQ

Now normally, I'd just write this up on my Carless In Albuquerque blog and be on my way, but today I'm hoping for some discussion because I really don't have much to say other than put the question out there.
