Happy New Year!

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne ?

CHORUS:

For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll take a cup of kindness yet,

for auld lang syne.

Lyrics taken from Auld Lang Syne

Yes it’s been a good year here in Albany. We’ve seen the expansion of bike infrastructure and accommodations with the new sharrows and the bike racks. We have had many interesting moments on group rides and events with the people of the Capital District. We have gotten new bikers on the road by working with them to fix bikes at the rescue. Most importantly though we all worked together to make the world a little better.

In this same spirit ABC and I would like to wish you a Happy New Year, and hopefully the next year is better then the last one. Let’s take a queue form the previous year and try to make every day better for everyone so that Albany and it’s surrounding areas will be just a little bit brighter.
