new job hunt

meeting tomorrow w a placement co. I doubt they can help me but it's worth a try. amongst other things I will be exploring companies with the right "culture" for me. obviously this includes bike commutability (distance but also other factors like available roadways) and bike friendliness on-site, place for the bike, place for my junk and a place to clean my junk ... hahaha. I'm too old to drive too far just to sit on my butt and work for a-holes.

You'd be a damn fool if you didn't. I've had to change work a number of times since I started commuting and (lucky!) each time the commute gets better. Hope you get lucky!
