Drove to work this morning
NEVER AGAIN! How the heck do people do that everyday? Sitting there in all that traffic burning all that gas to go nowhere. Sitting in an isolation cage.....yuck. Let my wife talk me into it since I had the Flu over the weekend and am still recovering. Bad move.
I feel fat. I'm gonna go get a Sausage McMuffin with egg and a Venti Quad Double-Whip Carmel Mocha Latte. |
I think most people would be very open to using a bike to commute if it were not for 2 major fears. Number one, fear of safely navigating the same roads as automobiles, and number two, fear of showing up at work with body odor problems.

That's why this forum is chock full of engineer analyst types. Who cares if we smell?

Heck, just wearing wool or seersucker does wonders for BO.

agreed, when I have to drive. I feel crappy all day.
I've been riding to work for so long, that if and when I do have to drive It just feel like it's gone, I just can't understand the car commute any longer. It just feels wrong to me on every level. |

2. Twisty roads with no one else on them 3. GUN IT!!! :D http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c4...oreJr/3qtr.jpg I love to bike it to work, but some of you...seriously. Something like driving should not cause such anger. |

I commute on a bicycle most days of the week, but sometimes I like throwing a leg over the motorcycle or slide into the comfort of the car. I don't mind periodically being stuck in a cage because it allows me to listen to some jazz and chill.
But, I love commuting on a bike for multiple reasons. |

That's why I ride a bike and take the train (why the heck I didn't just drive to the train station I have no idea!). |

My general feeling is that when my body is sick I need to kick its ass to get it out of the doldrums. So I ride. There is nothing that clears the sinuses like riding to work when it is 20 degrees out.

yes having the right attitude is key when you have to drive, i also like listening to the college radio station in the morning when i drive...its always good listening
|
BEAUTIFUL SPYDER!!! If I were you, I'd just find a longer, emptier route to work. :)
I can understand about the traffic. But I'm a sports radio junkie, so I love having time to catch up on scores and updates and stuff. |
