Personally, I would find that extremely difficult to do. I'm sure I would find something inappropriate to say!

This morning's commute was a heavily laden one - laptop in one pannier, knapsack with work clothes in the other, and gym bag with ball hockey stuff carried messenger bag style. It all seemed to work ok, went downhill faster and uphill slower, got to work in about the same time. NIce sunrise, temp about +6C, (43 F)

Yesterday's ride in to work was a long one - timewise not distance wise. Approaching the lift bridge, it started going up at 6:20 am - the ship started passing under the bridge at 6:46 am! Ever since one of the dufus bridge operators dropped one on a ship near Welland in 2001, they start lifting the bridge when they see a ship on the horizon.
