A really big shoulder sans intersections.
Thanks TE! You pushed me half way over!

That happened to me so many times. Now I carry my locks LOCKED. So I can't lock up my bike without a key. I keep spare keys in my office. Now, if I forget my key, I put my bike in the stairwell, run upstairs to find someone who has a key to my office, get my bike key out of the office, lock up my bike, and return the office key to its owner. It adds significantly to my commute time. And then I have to remember to put my spare keys back in my office the next day.
In my new office, my bike is just outside my cubicle. She doesn't need locked up any more. I still carry my locks locked, in case I need to go to main campus or elsewhere in town.
Hmm ... how about less high school-aged drivers on the road!!!! They're just as bad as those obnoxious, speeding F-250's. Not all high school drivers are bad, but I'm talking about the ones who roll around with the seat all the way back, all 4 windows down, weaving in and out of lanes during traffic hours. We need less, less, LESS!
I'm loving this thread. Now on my shopping list: Soma coffee cup, possibly the radio, and, most definitely, the WRIST BLINKERS! I'm excited about those.
OK, so faster legs aren't something that can be done, but how about a bike lane on all the roads I ride on, or a multi use path where I don't have to deal with traffic at all?
Those blinkies are pretty nifty!

I want the valley to be exalted...or the hill made low.
Just a little bit until I'm stronger.
