To the skaters, the inliners, who flexed their muscles uphill and coasted with safety back down, you make it look too easy with your cool spandex and hip sunglasses - THANK YOU!

To the cyclists, the easy riders, pedaling down the dangerous unpainted bike lanes, weaving around double parked cars, with or without toe clips, you turned heads with your speed and efficiency - THANK YOU!

To the taxis, who loaded up their cabs, braved tough traffic jams and hopefully gave their horn a day off - THANK YOU!

To the police, our thin blue line, our heros making sure that everything runs smoothly and calmly explaining the situation to people and giving help where necessary - THANK YOU

And to all those who took this opportunity to tell their elected officials, their places of business, their landlord, that they want more transportation alternatives like better biking parking facilities and bike lanes - THANK YOU!

Keep your cool and remember that the best way to get respect, is to show respect.
