FYA, one of my favorite subscribers, It's Just Me, an intrepid commuter from Michigan has as his signature line, “Work: the 8 hours that separates bike rides.” It's nice that you can keep your bike near your desk; it even looks decorative.

Unfortunately for me, this winter has been “Work: the days that separate bike rides.” Nonetheless, this weekend the studded tires come off the beater, and the carbon fiber comes out from winter storage.

As an avid triviologist, I did not know that quote, and I know that I did not know that quote. I did a perfunctory Google search, and couldn't find it either.

I googled my quote, and because I knew what I was looking for found the fragment, “…how about bending a couple in the Doo Dah Room?…,” but with the wrong attribution. Actually, the entire quote is the first entry in the search, with a link back to my post on Bike Forums.

Anyways, the quote should be easily recognized by the cognoscenti.
