The Best Part of Biking
The best part of commuting by bike is that I don’t have to spend part of the day here:
Instead, my days go like this:
And before you assume this was a bike ride for leisure or exercise, it was actually a trip to the grocery store. I needed an eggplant.
(And yes, this awesome music follows me everywhere I go.)
Lol my gym was totally like that!!
Video: Damn look at all those potholes!
LOL, wtf is it with gyms and Fox News? It’s the same out here on the West coast. Now I ride by my old gym and it’s very hard to not blow a raspberry at the people lined up on the other side of the glass pedaling away on the stationary cycles…
Damn your grocery store is far!
In Tel Aviv we have one in every neighborhood.
Hello! I love your images so much. Great video too. I used to bike a lot like that, staying far to the right, or even in the right tire track. What I’ve found is that drivers often do the lazy, close-pass when I gave them so much space (but the lane is not wide enough to share side-by-side). When I practice #LaneControl AKA #TakeTheLane I have had much fewer incidents of drivers yelling at me, horn honking and I’m fully clear of the car door zone.
Unless I’m turning right, I stay in line with cars at the red lights too. I found that drivers get mad when they pass you a second time (also you don’t want mad drivers passing you a second time) sneaking up to the stop line on the right (unless in a bike lane) also puts the rider in the door zone. I was doored by a passenger quickly jumping out at the red light once. Luckily it was uphill so I wasn’t going fast.
Safe riding my friend!
