This is the picture I took to buttress our case for having more bike racks installed.

Akam is awesome.

Can you still park in the Third St. garage across the way?

Yes! I even have the access code now. They don't seem to want to make it obvious for some reason.

Ohhhh! Well done! That really ought to convince them.

All y'all are incredibly crazy. I *respect* crazy, mind you, but I also recognize it when I see it.

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

Oh, I can't argue with that. I can only take some comfort in pointing out how totally NOT THE ONLY CRAZY ONE I am.

Yowza! Now, is that also adjusting for the additional 15mph of wind you're generating while riding? Either way - Go You!!

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

Definitely doesn't include that - I get the numbers from the forecasting services, and I'm positive that they're not adjusted for bike speeds. :-)

Well, if you want, you can always calculate your true machismo score here (http://www.weather.gov/os/windchill/index.shtml) :)

Yeah, but how many of those bikes are there at 2AM, shivering and waiting for the day when their owner will T in to the office one morning and finally bike them back home that evening?

I walked into work this morning in -3 deg (w/ windchill) weather. Of course, I had the supreme advantage of not having additional wind from fast movement, but I did have to deal with an icey walk out to get me. bleah.

You can't fool me, those bikes aren't operational. Looks like someone tore out the engines on each one. ;)
