I usually don't commute to work on Tuesday. It's partially because I used to try to do the group rides out of Mechanicsburg. But mostly it's because Tuesday's a big meeting day and it's also laundry night. Dirty laundry from Friday and Monday goes home and in come clean clothes for the rest of the week. But since I had yesterday off and only did an indoor workout, it was time to break from tradition. While coming home I started thinking about bikes. Some of us are lucky to have a lot of nice things in this world, but the one thing that's special to me is a bike. Now, its not about snob brand name or anything like that. It's the fact that I do ride and ride often that makes me or any serious rider special. Most people at work don't know I ride. I get there before most of them have breakfast and sometimes leave after a majority of them have gone home. The only way most know I commute is when they stop by my cubicle and see this parked in the corner:

When I see them look at the bike I know its something special.
