Of Bike to Work Week (in case you weren't bored of hearing about it already).
Best:
Seeing my friend Edmond walking through Hancock Park and being able to join him for mile or so.
Not the kind of nice surprise you get in your car!
Worst:
Two blocks after leaving Edmond, seeing 4 policemen jump out of their cars and drawing their guns on a Cadillac Escalade 30 feet from me. One yelling, in that anxious-in-the-moment voice, "Driver, get out of the car with your hands in the air!"
That's also not the kind of surprise you get in your car.
(But seriously, if you saw the latter in your car, you wouldn't be able to just kind of scoot along the side, hope the bullets didn't start flying, and quietly wheel away.)
Bike 2, Car 0?
