No new-fangled motors here. I’ll sent you some pesticide if you still need it. I’m sure one bottle would be enough?r

Oh, I was crossing my fingers that Cliff would comment on the kernels!

Every time I plan to ride to work it either rains or I have a meeting near the airport or something. I laid out my helmet and clothes to ride tomorrow and then got a phone call asking me to bring two card tables to work…maybe Thursday.

Great photos and Blogstock coverage.

he didn’t tell anyone – I didn’t find out until about a year ago. God must have needed help installing Linux. The company he started when he left Quovix is now 130 people and just bought their own downtown building. I think the entire Wabash alumni body attended the funeral. Andy was there too. Take care,

10 miles eh? I didn’t know they put motors on bicyles now. You are using a motor aren’t you?
Good on you John. I hope you don’t get caught in one of those fast moving Kansas t storms.
btw I’ve been having a little trouble with my kernels also. I think there might be some bugs in with them.

John, Keep it up. You’re right: it’s fun. I don’t ride a bike, I walk. I’m on course to complete 150 miles this month for the first time in two years. I’m already feeling good about how good it’s going to feel. I’ll let you know.

John ~ I would like to think that I would ride a bike to work (for all of the good reasons)… but I just know myself all TOO well! ~ jb///

Thanks for letting me know, Marty. That came as a shock. I don’t think I ever knew he had battled with cancer. My heart goes out to Katie too.

Hey John, you might want to check out http://www.apparatus.net in the next day or two. We lost a good one. Part of the million monkey fosball team.

Good job, John! There is a fairly large group here at my office that rides every day to work, most from Goshen (about 15 to 18 miles). thought you might enjoy seeing this article.

Your earlier post inspired me and I too travel occasionally to office on bicycle. However, I could not manage it regularly – I had to travel abroad briefly and there were rains. I sometimes succumbed to the pressure of deadlines at work. Nevertheless, it was a fantastic experience on the whole. A paradigm shift, the extent of which I cannot really explain.
Thank you.
