Spent the morning bumming around downtown St. Louis and taking some interesting photos of the city, which I will share via separate posts. Like everything, St. Louis looks entirely different by bicycle than by automobile. I also went to Urban Shark Bicycle, a nice bicycle store in downtown St. Louis(good inventory and knowledgeable, friendly staff), for some equipment needs.
Downtown St. Louis is very easy to navigate on bicycle -- well marked, generous bicycle lanes and courteous motorists. Even some of the police officers patrol downtown St. Louis on bicycle.
The ride south from St. Louis was not my favorite part of the ride -- fair amount of traffic even in mid-day and some dangerous intersections and shoulders. But I am now out of the greater metropolitan area and am looking forward to a good ride tomorrow.
Weather is great and it would be a fabulous night for camping if there were any campgrounds around. I guess that makes it a fabulous night for doing laundry at the motel.
