I love riding my bike. I also love going into offices and talking with people. I'm not sure if it's the fact that I'm in a relatively progressive town, or just not in a hustle and bustle big city, but almost all of my clients are incredible. They offer me coffee/water/chocolate/whatever, let me use the bathroom. I have clients that I ride with after work. Several times per day folks who see us riding around town yell out and say hello. Parents point us out excitedly to their kids. I even had one client who baked some cookies for us one rainy day and left them out with a package for pickup. Unfortunately he recently relocated to portland...

That sounds very cool, unfortunately it's generally not like that in new york. I might still be doing it if I was out your way... |

but not in the same sense, of course. The sad thing is that's kind of how it was(around $100 day) ten years ago. And rent here is certainly different than what it was then. |
