Wish I could.  Back when I was a kid working in an office, I rode every day I could.  But for the past 30 years, after I changed occupations to being a carpenter, not possible.  No place for all the tools/supplies.

Only saw a couple bikes out today.  There was a "chance" of rain that amounted to a 15 minute squall.  My super has an R1100S he left home and took the Acura, but he sits down when he pees.

Heeey...I pee sitting when I'm home. I brag about it too...it impresses the women and gives me about 5 minutes of good will before they realize I'm a dickhead just like all the rest of us.

Anyway -- I telecommute but did ride about 130 miles to my eye surgeon for the cataract follow-up Tuesday. Hottern hell -- ATGATT all the way. But I did score a pair of well vented pants by Bilt last year, so i stay very cool as long as moving. Probably wouldn't protect me for ch1t but -- at least I look like I'm geared up.
