The other day at the grocery store, the teller commented: "nice tan... did you get out of town ?"... nope!... I've just been riding my bike to work everyday instead of taking the subway or the car....

Another fringe benefit not listed before is that I don't have to look for a parking spot every night. I park my car somewhere in a 2 block radius and move it once a week (stupid alternate side parking). The hard part is remembering where the darn thing is!

Everybody talks about the pros of bike commuting... let's discuss the cons!... I'll start another thread!
