new team name: "Spokin' Hot"

That's SPOKE, not SPOCK.

The "Rotelle di Velocita" Bike to Work challenge team name has long fallen to history. Largely for two reasons:
1) It is a hard name to remember - or pronounce.
2) I'm tired of re-learning how to make the "A" with the accent on it.

I've considered whether this blog would get more hits if it had a simpler URL or name. Something like:
Commuting by Bike in the PNW
Seattle Bicycle Commuting
Stories from the Saddle

But I am afraid these might all be taken, just like if you look up AAA [type of business] in the phone book (or online directory). You'll probably find a whole mess of them, none of which are the one you're actually trying to find.

So, we'll see what happens.
