Effecting others by commuting.
I hear at work all the time, from my co-workers, "If I could, I'd ride." I just smile and nod. But yesterday has me smiling a bit wider, I've influenced a couple of my clients. They went to the Y yesterday, and when they came back a couple of them came up to me to tell me they rode the stationary bike 23 miles at the Y, the length of my commute. I'm sort of beaming at the moment. I'm also wanting to be careful and not pop the baloon for them about how I ride a fixed gear, and contend with hills, and wind, hope it carries over when they leave.
What I really can't wait for is a bunch of bikes locked up when I roll up for work, and all them belong to staff. Maybe get them primed for Bike to work week. We've got a couple on the staff that ride the MDA Ride across MN.
Anyone else find they've influenced someone with your riding?
