Bike? by blkbr0tha
Feb 01, 2008 (8:55 am)
Thought about that- bicycle and all, but I definitely do not want to ride a bicycle everywhere. Plus I am in the south and riding a bicycle in the spring or even summer is near impossible without sweating like a hog in high heat!
 
 I live close to my golf course- grocery stores/ mall- scooter may be a good deal to scoot if prices go higher all around for me AND stay comfortable from the heat!
 
I can just see me now- showingup to work in slacks that are sticking to my legs and shirt with sweat stains under my arms lol.... not cool at all!

When I lived close enough to a subway station I would ride a bike to the subway, and back.
 
It worked except in the summer heat, the winter cold, and in the rain.
 
So basically I had to walk 1/2 the time.

That problem is easily solved. Keep a few changes of clothes at work. Once a week or so you can drive to work and swap dirty loads. Of course, you'd actually RIDE to work wearing cool-looking cycling apparel.
 
If your work has showers, use them. If not, Baby Wipes work great.

Well, it's usually the shape of what's on the inside that determines how cool it looks. Santa probably wouldn't look cool in lycra.

While that may be true for spandix there is just no way to look cool wearing bicycle sport wear.

I'm with Ted. But we're all a bit off-topic.

Think of how much gas you could save driving your Prius in stealth mode following a good looking woman in Lycra on her bicycle

think how much MORE gas you'll save while serving your 30 day jail sentence for stalking.

if it's outlawed to follow someone; that would sort of undermine the whole business of the paparazzi, not to mention private investigators. And they even take pictures. Lock them away for ever! I guess that's the difference between public areas and private areas.
 
I thought cruising the beach looking at girls in bikinis is a great hobby and use of $4 gas!
