No. I'm usually too busy flossing my teeth.

It's only a matter of time before someone creates an iPad mount for a bike.

An hour later you feel like riding your bike again?

The post title reminded me of the movie "Airplane" and the whole Peter Graves running gag with the little kid:
"Joey, you ever seen a grown man naked?"
"Joey, do you like it when Scruffs grabs ahold of your leg and rubs up and down?" etc.... Yeah, I gotta weird mind.

Do you like movies about gladiators?

I read a text on my phone while riding for the first time this past weekend. I was on the long ascent out of Capitola and the phone in my handlebar bag went off. No traffic was around and I was just chugging up the hill, so I opened the bag, grabbed the phone, read the message, and put it back in the bag. All while keeping a moderate cadence through a straight spot in the climb.

Remember Capt. Over getting his copy of "Sperm" magazine at the airport newsstand? Priceless!

My boss lets me go home early as long as the web site is updated. So I edit html codes while bombing hills. That's why this bike has brakes. The other day I rebooted the server on this thing using Remote Desktop on my way into work.

Motorists think it has to be a DVD player, because anyone on a bike must not have a job.

Looks like an Acer... I hope it has an SSD drive in it if you're actually running it while in motion.

Is an iPod close enough?

Scroll down, as bidding has ended. My brother sent me this link just a few days ago.
