I just tell myself on the rotten days "these are the miles that **really** count!!" I don't have Metro, though ... and accidentally on purpose I haven't figured out the bus route here. I imagine how "important" my very existence out ther eon the bike is - everybody who sees me is aware that yes, it can be done! (Some of them don't even think I'm a lunatic for doing it.) It's gotten other people riding. HOpefully it will get my spare tire shrunk
