The only reason I can lay down so many miles is because I live out in the 'burbs. I actually noticed a lot of AK teams this year, one team captain in Juneau who I think worked at the brewery posted to the facebook page a lot. There were even some Anchorage teams on there.

I've finally been biking some myself, but my RT is about 6 or 7 miles usually ;) I am championing bike to work day here at the office, so I'll try to hold a candle to your torch!

I'm going to pretend it was some road raging idiot, or some idiot not paying attention, rather than a lost-in-translation type scenario. You've seen some shit, man. Kudos for breaking the bystander effect and helping the injured guy. I think people in general use the bubble of their cars as shields to deflect civic responsibility. Though some may have already seen the lady calling for aid, I imagine all of those commuters appreciated your efforts to keep traffic flowing as efficiently as possible. I would love to see time lapse go-pro footage of your average commute.

Amazing work. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) The Sporting Life Fri, 30 May 2014 16:54:06 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6499&msg_id=6500 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6499&msg_id=6499 Another year down for me. Since this is the last day... work day, of May I thought I might go ahead and list my bike commuting numbers for the month and some of the things I've seen. By the time I get back to my car today I will have ridden about 868 miles over 21 work days. All but three days I rode just shy of 42 miles round trip, two days were 45 r/t, and 1 day was 27. This beats my last years record of 823 miles which I thought was already about the best I could possibly do. It's also my very first year that I rode every single day, it helped that it was a good month for weather. I'll probably end up ranked in the top 50 riders in terms of miles out of like 14000 total, and in total I spent about 60 hours in the saddle. I'm tired, really, really tired. That feeling has seeped into every single thought and aspect of my being. On the weekends I've tried to make plans, but kids allowing I often just find myself laying down and not moving. I'm so tired I have kinda started to understand what crippling depression feels like. But I also feel stronger in general than I have for a long time and the days where the tiredness isn't as bad I actually feel good and quite peppy, so next month when I cut back on distance I think I'm going to start feeling really good most of the time. Now some of the shit I've seen. First of all I can count about 4 times that I have actually seen shit, real human shit just off the side of the sidewalk. Since a lot of my ride goes through areas where homeless people camp this isn't all that surprising really. I saw a guy on a unicycle several miles away from anywhere in particular, along one of the busiest and shittiest roads I commute along which has no shoulder, no sidewalk, and the speed limit is 45mph and most of the vehicles are large freight trucks. Hella ballsy as shit. I saw cyclist get a speeding ticket, he then complained to me before racing on past me, MrFood@idkfa.com (MrFood) The Sporting Life Fri, 30 May 2014 16:37:23 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6499&msg_id=6499
