Flemish Lion Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Been one of those weeks .... finishing the days at some remote site and driving straight home in the car. I MISS my commute !!!! Maybe we must make a thread ala 365 out of 365... I haven't missed a commute this year yet and only one day off the bike Sucks if one does not have a choice but to drive!

J∆kk∆ls Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Your core must be made of steel My core, no, the bike, yes! My comfort on the steel commuter comes from riding it everywhere every day! Thank, TITS!
ChrisF Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Maybe we must make a thread ala 365 out of 365... I haven't missed a commute this year yet and only one day off the bike Sucks if one does not have a choice but to drive! I spend some time in office, and a lot out on sites .... So commuting home is certainly not a given. DO enjoy it when the opportunity is there ! I simply "feel better" after the morning ride. Day just start better. And few things better than WORKING those pedals in the afternoon after a difficult day ... few weeks back I actually drove to the office, when I could have driven home, for the sole purpose of commuting home.

Commute to work If the site is not too far away, cycle to it.If the site is far away, Uber

ChrisF Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 I would have to get seriously fit for those days when I do 100+km during the work day .... Regularly do more than 200km per day ..... My boss might have something to say about my "travel time" .... Lurch the stalker and Hairy 2

Bateleur1 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 the rope and gloves for murder? For motorists in road rage incidents. When someone wants to confront you, you just pull out the roap and the gloves and while snapping on those gloves you put on this psycopatic laugh. Normally the debate ends there.

Hairy Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 the rope and gloves for murder?Rope, gloves and duct tape for date nights ....... DJR, BSG and Bateleur1 3
Hairy Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Gloves are great when working with a dirty chain before work Rope, well I have cycled with frames, wheels, forks and a whole lot of other stuff strapped to my back pack and it also useful if someone has a mechanical and can not pedal ... just tow them then.
