Rules of commuting?
Mine is: Red light go.
|
1. Get to work in one piece.
2. Don't run into anyone along the way. 3. Have fun. |
I don't like commuting on my mountain bike. The suspension absorbs my pedalling.

No matter how much you plan, no matter how much you try to avoid it, eventually you will be riding in the rain. ;)

1. Swerve wildly and unpredictably.
2. Throw things at cars. I keep a bag of heavy duty bolts in my jersey pockets. 3. Yell obscenities at small animals and children. They'll thank you for it later. |
Check out JoeyBike and you will see what JeffS means.

I think what JoeyBike is doing is great, and I wish I had the skills to do what he does. |

I'm still waiting. It would be a welcomed relief from riding in the heat and humidity we typically have around here. Then again, I'll probably be retracting that statement around mid-October. :lol:
It's fun! |
1) The only easy day was yesterday
2) Faster, harder than yesterday 3) Shiny side up. |
My number one is don't have an epileptic seizure.
|
1. Go south to get to work.
2. Go north to get home 3. I cannot overemphasize the importance of 1. and 2. |
When the light turns green wait a few seconds and let the cars go first so they can get t-boned by red light runners.

1: Take the F-ing lane! |
1. Stay upright.
2. Take the lane. 3. Get to work a half-hour early, (I never want them to use the excuse, "He's late because he rides that bicycle to work.") |

Hehehe. Glove lines and helmet spots... classy. |
No matter how carefully you make sure that the intersection is clear, there's ALWAYS some JAM waiting to run you down, hidden carefully behind some SUV, even if there's no space available to pass on the road......
(at least I found one). |
