1. I confess to spending my entire morning at work reading this thread instead of actually earning my paycheck

2. Until recently (my gf made me promise to stop) I used to commute without a helmet, and full over-ear DJ noise cancelling headphones on with my music way loud. I reasoned that I was OK becuase I would shoulder-check more often.

3. I'm THAT guy on a knobbly-tired, front suspensioned mountain bike that just HAS to blow past everyone on the climbs, while still sitting. I prefer to blow past the roadies, but I'll take women and children too just to feed my ego. If someone tried to pass me, I always start racing them.

4. I know it would be easy to make my commuter more efficient by swapping tires, stiffening fork etc. but I'm too lazy. I just inflated my tires for the first time yesterday, and was genuinely surprised this morning that my average speed went up by 3-4mph. For one year I've been riding on 35psi tires without doing anything about it.

5. I confess I used to be a bad driver, until I started commuting by bike. Now, I think every driver should be forced to commute by bike for at least 1 week each year so they know what it's like.
