I have been elected to Congress and solved many of the nation's and world's problems whilst riding my bike. I also have theme songs that play in my head - depending on the locale, traffic conditions and weather. I've also concluded that quantum physics is still in it's infancy, and that bothering to try to follow it now would be a waste of my time, since a more elegant and unified theory is inevitable.

Such thoughts about the bicycle and commuting conditions seem decidedly "connected" to me by comparison.
