When they still tracked delivery drivers by average delivery time, I was always among the top drivers because biking was so much faster in traffic.
My current job occasionally involves traveling offsite for meetings. My employer keeps a few beaters in fair working condition, but none of them fit me. I just make sure to ride to work that day if I want to ride.
Very cool!!! I hear that there is one female rider and she is the only one on a bike at one of the local stores but that is unconfirmed. Our manager likes to keep us close for the quick blasts onto campus (right across the street) because we are so much faster. I timed myself once to the library on wet roads with lights. 1:26. Finals week was fun, and I can't wait until it comes around again after this semester.
