There was only about 4 or 5 inches of snow on the roads!Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989502925369231042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-47702150143653185252007-12-11T23:25:00.000-06:002007-12-11T23:25:00.000-06:00Thanks, SR :)As for my inconspicuousity...

(err... that's not a word)<BR/><BR/>Of about 300 people on my floor, I'd say 30 are aware that I'm a cyclist, and may have seen me ride to work. About half of those are aware that I'm a little on the obsessive side about it. It's that core of people who get "concerned"<BR/><BR/>Then, of that core, I think there are 5 that genuinely want to see me give in to the car. Without going into detail, they have a severe inferiority complex for no good reason. It wouldn't surprise me if there is a pool going between them in regards to what day or what temperature will bring me into the office without my bike.Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271155305943176738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-80931103065014144542007-12-11T23:01:00.000-06:002007-12-11T23:01:00.000-06:00You Go Boy!Sending you positive Karma from the war...You Go Boy!<BR/><BR/>Sending you positive Karma from the warm Texas Coast!Sirrus Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04831167730361057374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-54128214069968310182007-12-11T22:42:00.000-06:002007-12-11T22:42:00.000-06:00Haha, that's hilarious.

I can't wait to see their reactions when conditions worsen.<BR/><BR/>That said, I try to be as inconspicuous about my riding to work as possible. So I'm sure I don't get as many comments as I otherwise would.Apertomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148516503920019073noreply@blogger.com
