Oh, hey Ritalin, I wasn't suggesting that you needed to extend your route! You're going to be rolling up the big miles as it is.

No, I meant that for folks like super-douper and me, the commute is the perfect opportunity to expand the route, take a detour for fun or turn the ride home into an impromptu training session. That's one of the beauties of bike commuting! I keep trying to convince friends and coworkers, but it seems like this is one of those things where "if you don't understand I can't explain it to you."

But everybody on this forum understands....
