I used to live in Huntsville and have visited Birmingham several times. One of the reasons I left the area was that it was not very bike friendly at all, unlike the San Francisco Bay area. We cyclists stick together and are very supportive so I'm sure you'll have no problem finding answers to your questions. Keep on riding.

I'm in my second year of car-freedom in West Palm Beach, FL, and I absolutely love it. Ed's got some great advice a couple of posts up. I would also add -- always carry a small ziploc bag in your messenger bag/backpack/whatever to protect your cell phone in case you get caught in the rain. Because you *will* get caught in the rain. Just got turned onto your blog by another bike-blogging friend, Ken Steinhoff, http://www.palmbeachbiketours.com/ and as a fellow skirt-wearing girl on bike, I am really looking forward to reading more about your adventures! Congratulations, Elissa!

I have many "fond" memories of being stuck in traffic on US 280 going from the suburbs of Shelby County to...well, pretty much anywhere. As a former resident of “the Ham,” I wish you good luck!

You mention Whole Foods -have you thought about starting something like a grocery car-pool? Everyone submits a list by a certain time and some of you riders with car access can take turns doing the grocery run? Run it like a grocery coop? Wow, can’t wait to see how this works out for you.
