Where Does Tampa Bay Rank As A Bike Friendly City?

Where Does Tampa Bay Rank As A Bike Friendly City? Better than you think. Tampa Bay has more than 32 bicycle trails covering 324 miles. The problem only comes when we need to share the road with cars. But, we do it anyway. I bicycle every morning before sunup (fewer cars) but if I could I would ride to work every day. Would you? More and more people are ditching their cars in favor of a two-wheel commute these days, and Anytime Estimate has compiled a list of the most bicycle-friendly cities in America. Tampa Bay comes in at #15 in the US for being bike friendly. Please stay safe and ride with lights. Yes even during the daylight hours so you can be "noticed" by distracted drivers.

Here's a look at the top 10 Cities In The US:

1. Portland, Oregon.

2. San Francisco

3, San Jose

4. Minneapolis

5. Sacramento

6. Denver

7. Washington, D.C.

8. Boston

9. Salt Lake City

10. Seattle

Our guide wearing a more formal dress shoe hat, Mine is a Hoka! She said, "People have done this in bars when I wear this, but you're the first to do it it here in the Museum." Not sure if that was meant to be bad or good thing?

Thinking all these wishes are lottery related? Prove me wrong ; ) OK, maybe some wishes are Bucs, Bolts, Rays, Rowdies related. May be how we got to be Champa Bay?

Of course kids have never seen a rotary phone, so this one puzzles in more ways than one. Yes it evolved from an actual lobster dinner. There may have been wine involved also. And you "butter" call me.

Canosa's artistic challenge. Each blind sketch done from a slightly different angle. If you don't find this fascinating as you walk around the room seeing every drawing, looking back at the tree, you've likely never held a crayon.

Christ Of St John

IMG_4030-1-rotated.jpgQYKeith.com

The Ascension of Christ has been a popular subject matter of Old Masters, such as Caravaggio, Titian, and Rembrandt, whom Salvador Dali highly admires. Dali said that his inspiration for The Ascension of Christ came from a "cosmic dream' that he had in 1950, some eight years before his painting was completed.
