Will you be using a bike more for local trips?  Like going to Wawa for milk, bread, 6 pack of beer, the library?

Once I am out of my cast I plan on purchasing a bike to use for the above items as well to get to work

    yes I do own and use a bike for local trips.

    Assume your WaWa is 5 miles roundtrip, your job is 20 miles roundtrip, and your car gets 20 MPG:

    Biking to WaWa 1 day per week saves 13 gallons of gas per year.
    Working from home 1 day per week saves 50 gallons of gas per year.
    Working from home 5 days per week saves 250 gallons of gas per year.
    Commuting 5 days offpeak saves (some amount) of gas and emissions.

    So come on employers, show some patriotism here!

    If you bike to WaWa 1 day per week and save 13 gallons… How long will it take you to pay off the bike, and the cold-weather riding gear?

    Though hesitant to bring this up, has the lack of exercise caused a shift from hotness to lumpy, thick-waisted middle-aged physiogomy?

    The above statement while humorous simply could not possibly be true. Everyone knows that a lack of exercise has nothing to do with obesity. It is simply genetic.

    I was just wondering, as there is only 2 jnd’s (“just noticeable differences”) of hotness between donviti and liberalgeek. Perhaps the gap has closed.

    what if LG has widened too though?

    Did he break his foot too?

    Also, did you notice a sort of enhanced depth of hotness due to the sympathy-gimp inherent in crutches, not to mention that sort of manly sports-star “I hurt myself for the team” ambiance?

    Consider getting your bike from the Urban Bike Project. Help needy Wilmington kids.

    That’s where I got mine.

    I will only buy a bike if it is airlifted by itself to me from China.
