    We have no showers at work... Can you imagine how I would smell after ~27 Km of biking uphill?

    Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

    We have showers at work, the only person I've ever seen use the bike rack lived at most a mile away. Much more than that in either direction and you'd start down the step part of one side of an 1000 foot ridge or the other. For some odd reason no-one ever wanted to bike up the thing in the morning. :^)

    Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

      I'm on a client site, 180 miles from home. That's a lot of cycling I'd have to do - especially when I had to cross the mountains. It might just rumple the suit.

        I usually walk to work but it's going to be around 112F today so I felt driving was the safer option.

          Thought about it (motorcycle) but the chance of thunderstorms made me think twice. It would take me a couple hours to get to work on a bicycle, which I did 40 years ago.

            40 miles? Um....no.

              I bought a new bike in January, but now it's June. Did you see the earlier post about 117 above?

                    About 50000 people in switzerland participate in Bike-To-Work[^] during May and June. That's two months! (although for the purpose of participating in the competition you just pick one month)

                    GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

                      We would do that here in the US, but it would ruin our image of being fat and lazy :laugh:
