Silly question
Backgound: You're on mile 10 of a 15 mile commute. You're clipless/cleated to the bike. You're wearing gloves (that will be important to the question). You just passed through an intersection on a highway, but have plenty of shoulder with no real concerns about traffic. You're coming up on that same dime you've seen on the ground for about a week before... you know it's going to be there. Do you stop to pick it up?
I've been stimied by this dime now for a week and the pedestrian in me is saying "pick it up fool!" and the cyclist in me is saying "don't listen to that stupid pedestrian side of you... wait for a quarter." I don't even think I would stop for a quarter. How about everyone else...
Oh... and for people who ask about what we think about on our commutes... this is pretty standard for me.
