Welcome!

The mushroom capital of the world is where I grew up! I’ll look for you in the wild.

We lived in KSPA when we were in PA… we liked the town, although it is pretty much convenient to… nothing.

Great for cycling. Five minutes out the door, and I’m on paved (sorta) low traffic roads. When I first moved there though, I used to get lost all the time… winding roads… never knew what direction I was facing.

I wonder how much of that is due to location-specific norms, as well. My experience on the Virginia Capital Trail is that at least half of the cyclists will say hi or wave.

Could be DC, could be the number of cyclists around. I have also noted that on places like the Virginia Capital Trail, you are more likely to get a greeting, but it’s less likely the busier the trail is.

(Also want to give a shout out to the Virginia Capital Trail, which is pretty wonderful. I’ve done 4 rides down there now, and if I lived there, it would be a weekly thing.)

I can’t wait to make it down to the Virginia Capital Trail.

I also believe the greeting has something to do with busy trails. I tend to talk to other cyclist at stop lights. It makes it easier to actually chat.

When I rode a canal trail in Delaware everyone was saying hi or good morning. I was surprised but then I started saying it first.
