What do you wish existed for your commute?

Shortness. Not necessarily with the bike portion. I still have to drive ~35 minutes, 30-ish miles to get to my starting point for the 22-mile one way biking portion.

Saw one of these the other day in the park.

Sound was quite decent and really only audible if you were right next to it. Pretty cool! :cool:

Better than nothing in the dark, but I want to be able to keep my hands on the bars.

I have one... now I have to figure out how to get it on the bike.

I want a pannier that I can use on either of my bikes with racks that my heels would never clip. Maybe something with a sort of triangle shape.

I may try making one this winter.

My Nashbar bag panniers kept getting my heels too. Then I moved them waaaayyy back and velcroed them so they couldn't migrate.

Oh! Now I remember what I want!!!!

I want a small insulated lunch bag with hooks on the back that can clip onto my rack, so I can cart my lunch to work - and not have to cram it into my pannier on top of clothes or bother taking the second pannier!

More commuters. :)

For some reason this has me cracking up. Some mental image of looking slightly crazy like the voices are in your head. Okay this is probably only funny to me but for some reason music flowing into my scalp is just funny right now.

I would like an air conditioner, maybe a hub powered fan for the 100+ degree commute home.

You mean, as in "Share" does NOT mean "Get the %&*#$&# out of my way!" :eek:;)
Yeah...wouldn't THAT be nice.....<<sigh>>

faster legs

Less potholes on Twinbrook Parkway and an easier way to make a left there. Or, Monrose Parkway to be built through to Viers Mill Rd so that I can bypass Twinbrook altogether.

Fewer left turns.
