I'll drive if it's my turn, if I have to. I've never had to, yet. Bagels do fine in my messenger bag.
My goal is so that none of my coworkers know that I commute by bike, unless I've disclosed it. I generally do, because it's so fun and I want to share the love. But I don't ever want to have it be the excuse for something. Giving someone a ride gets a pass, though. I'm fine not being able to do that.
But I'm comfortable with the idea that I may at some point have to get an expensive taxi ride somewhere on short notice. Hasn't happened yet either, but I'll drop the money if I have to. I figure I save enough biking anyway.
