Gerg Posted May 17, 2002 Posted May 17, 2002 Biking to work is the way to go. Beats driving 520 every day. I go 20mi each way about 3 or 4 days a week, 52 weeks a year. Gets me a nice break on my car insurance too. Quote

I then continued up the canyon for a 30 mile ride. Spring is a great time to ride. Are they still doing Critical Mass? That's great. I used to ride in it regularly, when it was the last Friday of the month, but stopped when we moved. Is there a regularly scheduled day? Â I rode in today, like every day, 22 mi rt. I passed two counting stations and made sure I got counted at both of them, to help the numbers. Quote

Though I see the utility of fenders, I've been hesitant to put any on because I was under the impression they were considered aid? Quote
rbw1966 Posted May 18, 2002 Posted May 18, 2002 I ride every day. 6 miles every day along the sludgy willametter river. Â Fenders are gay. Quote
iain Posted May 18, 2002 Posted May 18, 2002 If you think it looks cool to have a brown stain on your ass, sure, fenders are gay. Hell, the stain's a conversation-starter at least. Â Maybe you commute along the w. greenway. That used to be my route but it doesn't go through to L. Oswego. And I was sick of the dog owner/dog combo that would somehow take up the entire path with the leash in between. Quote
slothrop Posted May 19, 2002 Posted May 19, 2002 2 miles round trip. Aw yeah. I make up for it by riding almost everywhere instead of driving. My girlfriend loves it when I roll up to her house on the top of Queen Anne all sweaty from the ride Quote

MysticNacho Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 I bike 184 miles everyday to work on a little kids bike with training wheels and a fender! Uphill both ways, IN 180 degree heat and crossing 2 glaciers! At one point I have to jump a crevasse 50 ft. wide! Quote

Â bikin to work. i like it. 25 miles r/t5 days a week for the last 2 years , hey greg at the bike station were your boots highly shined? Quote

sk Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 Not realy. I was refering to the fact that we all wear the same thing under our clothes. Men can be so fooled by what is on the outside clothes and makeup do not a fine woman make Quote
sk Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 I don't believe you. I know about the makeup clad mini skirt wearing crowd you run with. The kind of woman who wakes up before you to put on her make up. THOSE are the ones you SHOULD be affraid of. They have something to hide Quote
