Zippered - it must be nice to work in a place which is sympathetic to cyclists. Where I work, the matter is just avoided, because all you garner are blank stares and confusion.
you're asking *us* about bike lust?!
yes, it's very nice. i've worked in enough places like that to garner this appreciation. i also have a secure "private" indoor parking spot!

I am glad you are okay zippered, it sounds like things could have been much worse...
if i can arrive at work all schwetty at -10, then today is still "warm".
i'm thanking my lucky stars... and everyone here for their kind words. this is not the kind of attention i relish, but it's still nice to have some empathy.
ps. iherald: i totally get your point, but i did that mostly for the benefit of the other drivers who were watching because i didn't want to play into the "reckless cyclist" stereotype. taking responsibility for one's stupidity is mature... right??
