What about getting lost because you try to drive somewhere you normally ride, and forget that cars can't go on your route.

Reckless Endangerment -on every commute- (Very steep downhills, yeeeeee haaaa!! )
Show Off- those downhills are in 25 MPH speed limit zones. :D Rain Man- All winter Frosty- It's just frozen water Trooper Pwnage-The look on their face was priceless. Jitterbug- Mmmm coffee. :) Boy Scout- And I really was a Boy Scout Gear Head- Nobody takes the wrench to my babies but me. Haters Gona Hate- :D N+1 !! :) Spinnaker* Beating to Windward* (* on the same commute) Who Let The Dogs Out - Pepper Spray is my friend. ;) |
I have a LOT of the achievements, but here are a few suggestions.
Spread the Love - give a bike to a friend. If You Got The Money, Honey - sell a bike to a friend Family Discount - sell a bike to a friend for less than it's worth You're Out Of The Family - dump a bike on someone for MORE than it's worth Cheapskate - Get a GREAT deal on CL Roads? Where we're going, we don't need "roads"! - Commute solely by MUPs and trails for one month Lucky Luna - Forgot your headlight? It's cool. there's a full moon tonight... Fly Me To The Moon - Forgot about that pothole (night). Lunar Landing - Landed safely after encountering that pothole at night Packing Heat - Carry a pistol in your bag/panniers Dirty Harry - Fit a holster on your bike Be Vewy, Vewy Quiet... - Hunt while on a bicycle tour Born In The Saddle - commute over 300 days in a 12 month period |
Pretty good showing, I think. I'd check quite a few more, but I'm only counting things that happened while commuting, not other riding.
