Next Week

May 17-23 is official "Bike to Work" Week.

First, who the hell actually starts their week on a Saturday?

Second, if you live relatively close to work or are a bike-healthy nut, this is fine.

But, if you are like me and ...
1. Live about 30 miles from work
2. Live in a city where it is idiotic to ride a bike from October-May (so you may not own one)
3. Enjoy the convenience of not living in a 3rd world country
4. Tossed your bike when you graduated college because, well, it's stupid to use a bike for transportation purposes
5. Own a car
6. See the act of crawling out of bed as an equivalent to daily hari kari
7. Can barely get to work on time with a car and free-flowing traffic
...this is one "National ______ Week" you will be sitting out.
