welcome

to those surfing over from BikeBlogs....

wasnt all bike stuff - still isn't but lately its mostly it that or relating to whatever stimulated from emails or what nots...

maybe i'll get lucky and it won't be raining on the commute home...

oh...

one last little bit of - "figures"

more than one - prolly more than two - less than 10 maybe - people have commented with surpise that i've managed to "stick with" commuting on the bike all year and through the winter... they invariably comment: "Well i guess if we had a real winter it would be different."

NO IT WOULDN'T....

what part of 100% commited to riding to work every day do you NOT understand?

Its 2 miles... it don't matter HOW cold, HOW windy, HOW rainy, HOW snowy or what... its still way easier to get in the bike and roll...

"You could take the bus on really bad days..."
Sure... i'll take the bus - on the really bad days... let me see, first i walk two blocks to the bus stop, wait for who knows how long ('cause when its shitty out the busses are ALWAYS predictable) to pay money to ride a bus 1.5 miles so i can get off and walk another 2-3 blocks UPHILL to work?

those total blocks of walking in time would mean i'm most of the way here already... and riding, assuming i'm bundled up appropriately (and i have all the crap to do that with) is one HELL of a lot warmer than standing still at a bus-stop - even bundled up completely....

car? hell i'll spend more time looking for a parking spot than actually riding the bike in...

why are people soooooooo convinced that they need to drive short to moderate distances????

"gotta carry my stuff!"

WHAT STUFF? what in the world do you need at work that you can't put in a backpack or an oversized messenger bag if you need it?

choir, meet the preacher... cause i'm damn sure Preacher G is talking to the chior - be it only one or two seats full...

peace for the day - remember out there on the road - getting mad don't do no one any good - be ya riding a bike or driving a car... forget about it - drive on as long as ya don't get hurt or ya stuff don't get broken...
