Strange Commuters
 

Just saw a National Geo. show on the 1800s Gold Rush in the Yukon. While many of the Gold seeker carried strange things over the pass, one is known to carry..a bicycle! (There was no roads, then for 150 miles.) Talk about a hard core commuter! What strange thing have you witness as you commute?

Before my family emigrated to Canada some 35 years ago my father used to carry my bother and I on his bike (one front, one back), and my mother would carry my sister on the back of her bike; not crazy distance, but perhaps 10km, to the market, and back home carrying a bunch of food supplies. I swear we looked like one of those circus acts. Back then you were lucky to have a commuter bike, let alone two.

Strange? Nope. Smart. The Klondike guys rode their bikes down the frozen Yukon River and were the first in the gold fields.

Below that old white mountain just a little southeast of Nome?

There was this guy, tall, big build... had some kinda cruiser now an uptown.... he seemed pretty strange.... ;)
