Commuting - If you ever feel like skipping the ride to work...

... watch the movie "Breaking Away". I wanted to hop on my bike and go for a ride at 11pm last night when we finished watching it. Sure, it doesn't have much to do with commuting directly, but, and I had forgotten this part,


*** MINOR SPOILER ***
the dad starts bike commuting by the end of the movie. If he can do it...
*** END SPOILER ***

Sure, it's campy (no pun intended! gosh that's a good one though), but I find it inspirational. Now I need to find that jersey thread over in Road Cycling which linked-up the Team Cinzano jersey.

I'd probably be pretty late for work...

Heh I was out riding at 11 last night (home from chess club). 70 degress, no wind and no sun. Absolutly perfect.

cutters!!!

I often feel like skipping the work part of the equation. It's gotten so that my commute is more like a ride interrupted by hours of sitting in front of a computer. Darn these people for paying me.

LOL well put.

I got up so early this morning I went on a long ride before the "interruption" part. It was great. Still feel it.

oh, i forgot the dad started riding to work!

My rides to and from work are definately the highlights of my working day. I sometimes ride out of work during my lunch hour too. Makes the day more bearable.

also try "American Flyers" 1985

You didn't leave much empty space to reveal the spoiler. :p

The funny thing is it's only about 2 blocks from the Stohler house to the used car lot Mr. Stohler owns (both still exist)-- all on perfectly flat terrain. The rest of us Bloomingtonians have to deal with the durned hills!
