Put my manager on a bike
 

My manager decided to start commuting on a bike. Our company has moved closer to his home and he wanted to buy a bike for that. I offered him my spare bike so he can start riding first, and than decide which bike he wants. I brought him a bike on Friday and checked the route. He has a very nice commute of about 3 miles one-way, half of it on a bike path along a creek, another half on a bike lane on a quiet street.

And he did showed up on a bike on Monday shining and excited!

Does it mean he will let you drive his car? :D

Now you need to teach him all the maintenance and set up stuff that he'll need. A subtle nudge towards doing this at his place over a couple of beers could be good for the career too...

Now that you and your manager are "riding buddies", it's time to talk $$$$. ;)

The president of our company and several managers ride in most days [not as often as me, though :D]. Kudos to you for helping your employer out!

i have some people asking me about bike opinions who i work with. they never actually purchase one though. i think talking about being healthy is enough for some to think they are healthy.

That is the same concept as the ladies at my gym who dress up in a nice matching workout suit, go to the gym, and lounge around near the equipment. Apparently a new form of weight loss involves no exercise but simply being near the equipment.
Excuse me I'm going to go stand by my bike now and loose a few lbs. :p
