You guys are coming up with some pretty hard things to actually bring to market ... "faster legs"?
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

A beautifully paved and completely safe cyclists-only bridge that went up and over the city of Camden so that I didn't have to ride through it!

Get a bicycle. You will certainly not regret it, if you live. -Mark Twain
a route with no broken glass on it
Did a combo of caribiners and a bungie cord along the side opposite my pannier. It worked, but was tres' ugly... .. and risked smooshing my poor lunch. Having a pannier clipped to the side makes it hard to use my cargo net to attach anything to the TOP of the rack, in addition to the pannier. Oh, the trials I face!!
And now that I have a locker....I don't even need to worry about a U-lock on the rack at work....just a padlock on the locker door (I just have to remember to bring the key!).

Now it's my turn to snicker...isn't this just what the wind is as you are pedaling? Of course, that doesn't help at traffic lights when the heat rising up off the road is likely miserable in your neck of the woods.
For those that want coffee on your commute, here are two ideas:

And this is what I have for mine:

The Leak Proof Backpack bottle. It fits in my bottle cage, it's truly leak proof, and it keeps coffee pipping hot! Someone here recommended it, and it's awesome!

I like the idea of that backpack bottle. This is what I use... vacuum sealed so it insulates better than a travel mug. The black paint is chipping off, and after 3+ years of steady use is about ready for retirement, but it's been pretty good for my needs.

I just thought of something.
Work appropriate mules or dress shoes with speedplay clips.
I can do five more miles.
That's similar to the backpack bottle except that the backpack one opens with one hand so that you could drink while riding. I don't, but my commute is so short right now. I may end up using it to actually drink coffee on my ride in the future!

Well the only thing that is a blessing and a curse is all summer I have a tailwind home. So it makes it less effort but the air feels stagnant.
I would like trees along my commute. Not the little brush cedars but real trees. It is not a shady commute and that is not to nice when it is 100. Wonder how hot it is going to be this afternoon. First commute home in a few weeks (had a lot on my plate).

You don't have to be great to get started, but you do have to get started to be great. -Lee J. Colan
Sigh and here I was working on a coffee cup holder for my bike. Might as well buy that snazzy one!
I would like to have something that would hold my cellphone so I could see the face of it when it rings. I know there is something out there.
BELLS! I find there is a meager assortment of bells out there.
+1 on music for the ride..
AND how bout snazzier commuter clothes? Don't make me design my own!!! I found golf skorts are really cool for this as long as you don't need padded shorts because they pass for 'office wear' if you buy the IZOD ones.
