Catlike

The first hints of spring time are here, and that means it is time to start anew. It also means a time for reflection. After reading the comment left by "annonymous" I am curious what your (yes you, I can see you through your computer screen) votes for top 5 worse places to ride bike in eau claire are. Nothing profound here, just an honest inquiry open to any readers who may wish to share their disdane for the city of eau claires most bike unfriendly streets. So my vote goes for:

1.The stretch of first ave heading south that has a monster crack that eats my tire at least once a year.

2. Same intersection (first and lake) heading north and taking a right onto the lake st. bridge. Swimming pool pot holes filed in periodicly with blacktop which only seems to exacerbate things.

3. The entiretly of downtown. Im convinced that come spring they are just going to dump thumb tacks and broken glass on the streets and put bear traps in the pot holes.

4. Madison St. Once you get to nelsons the road is non-existent the rest of the way.

5. Starr ave.

That was fun. Post a comment and try it. It's really something else.
I suppose I could also do top 5 best places, but im tired. And I dont want to right now. because Im tired.
thats all

and really i want to hear your opinion on the matter, so i had better get at least one comment. or else I will make empty threats via the internet.

thats all. For realsies.
