...Instead of regulating your body temperature with a knob on the dash you unbutton/button, zip/ unzip, peel/add, slow down your pace or speed it up, etc. I'll add "on your way to work" so this fits with the commuter motif.

...you use the time on the bike to let the rest of the world get it's act together until you decide to rejoin it. Kinda like stopping the world for a few Minutes so that you can get off.

In Florida so much of the above temp regulation is in the "un" category (for example, un button) so I can keep cool.
