Can you afford auto insurance? (yes)
Then why do your ride a bike to work**********
The list goes on.
I've had the same type of experience at a couple of companies. My current GM thinks I'm "dedicated" for riding my bike instead of driving or taking the bus. I can leave my bike in the building during the time I'm at work if I want to do so. The neighborhood sucks, but the parking lot is right outside my window. So, I'm not that concerned with theft, but I appreciate the sentiment.
I hate driving and Rhode Island is the worst...Every trip down 95 feels like I'm in the Indy 500. Most people around here think the painted lines on the roads are their for decorative purposes only.
