Buy me a bike and I'm in.
Actually, I plan to get a bike this Summer and then I will start biking to/from work most days. 8 miles each way. With a nice greenway in the middle. |

Yes, if you put a picture of a bike in your pocket. Failing that, you must say the word bike while running. |

Maybe you need to make sure he doesn't see this, b/c he'd probably start doing it every day.  |

I bet I could get at least $75 for your feet on the black market.
Ewww, nevermind. |

LMBO!!!!
I used to bike to work too! I worked at a park, so I'd just shower at the campground when I got there. Perfect set-up! |

Probably not.
They are small and kind of wide, and my baby toe does this weird pointing out type thing. $30, max. |

This reminds me of that credit card rewards commercial where the guy is out with his biking friends and he's just sort of galloping along, pretending he's on a bike. I think running like that would definitely count as "biking."

I usually zone out during commercials that aren't about running or pizza, but that "biking" commercial is hilarious!
I had a bike stolen too, in Scranton. It was just a cheap mtn bike, but I left the cut chain-lock on the fence as a little guilt trip for the thief. It stayed there hanging pathetically for over two years.
My current bike is a beautiful circa-1982 Puegeot that my brother-in-law gave me from his garage. A nice and heavy bike that's perfect for cross training. Last year, when I rode it to work a few times, I kept it in my office.
I'll have to get some 2007 saddle time soon, because MapQuest says my job is 30.44 miles from my home. |
