Here is my work transportation. It is pretty dark in my underground parking lot so I had to use the flash. That shows off all of the reflective tape. You can hardly see it in regular light. I can haul 100# of lumber in back that's as much as I get at once. The lumber store is only 3.5 miles away so it is a short haul. In the last few days I have hauled 100# of shipping boxes 30 miles.
Steve...
I hope the lumber yard is uphill from your shop!
May the wind be always at your back...
at least you can thumb your nose at the gas stations.

Steve, given your last encounter in daylight, you need to install some strobes, sirens and a smellemiterator set to Limberger cheese to make sure ladies in their SUVs see, hear and smell you coming. (Well, OK, after hauling 100# for 30 miles you might not need the limberger cheese smellemiterator.)
I bet you give a chuckle each time you pass a gas station...
Where is the head ache rack??? ;~)

Only if it can't be downhill both ways... j4
What? No gun rack? How're you going to shoot terrorists?
Any cyclist will tell you that the earth isn't round or even flat.
It's uphill in every damned direction!
That's exactly what I was thinking. Good job Steve!
a little downhill but not a problem. it is only 3.5 miles away.

Sometimes it's downhill, but only when the wind's against you.
I thought it was illegal to peddle your a__ around town! Tom
Nope - it's downhill all the way when you're headed south. If you don't believe me, just look at your globe. I know, 'cause I just did.
And then there's wind...

I'm a serious cyclist, but I go to a club to lift weights and participate in kick boxing and Pilates classes.
You should see the arguments I have with gyms over the lack of places to lock up a bicycle. Trying to explain the idea of getting the cardio on the trip to and from the gym is lost most of those cement heads. Then again, I also see women waiting for front row parking spots!
The place I'm using now is great. They have nowhere to lock up a bike, so I get to put it in the manager's office!
