As               an               experienced               bicycle               commuter,               I               can               tell               you               there               is               more               to               riding               a               bicycle               from               point               A               to               point               B               every               day.

Traffic,               lack               of               bicycle               lanes,               inexperienced               riders               and               more               contribute               to               the               discouragement               and               even               injuries               of               new               commuters.

Here               are               steps               to               take               to               make               your               bicycle               commute               safe               and               enjoyable.

Why               become               a               bicycle               commuter?

Health,               lack               of               motor               vehicle,               and               gas               prices               are               all               good               reasons.

Some               people               have               had               their               license               suspended               while               others               can't               afford               high               car               repair               bills.

Whatever               reason               you               choose,               it's               a               good               one.
               A               Good               Bicycle               is               the               First               Step
               The               first               piece               of               equipment               you               need,               of               course,               is               a               bicycle.

Don't               skimp               on               this               one.

There               are               hundreds               of               good               bicycle               brands               to               choose               from               with               prices               ranging               from               $50               to               several               thousands.

Do               your               research,               talk               to               bicycle               shop               owners               and               take               your               time.

A               good               bicycle               salesperson               won't               just               start               saying               "this               bike               is               you,"               instead,               they'll               ask               how               much               you               plan               to               ride,               where               you               plan               to               ride,               and               more.

They               aren't               being               nosy;               they're               trying               to               match               you               with               the               right               bicycle.
               Are               all               the               roads               smooth               and               well               paved               where               you'll               be               commuting?

Perhaps               a               road               bike,               lightweight               and               made               for               distance               riding               is               for               you.

Are               the               roads               not               paved               or               will               you               be               riding               a               lot               on               the               gravel               or               dirt               shoulders?

Perhaps               a               mountain               bike               is               better.

It               has               wider               tires,               isn't               made               to               go               as               fast,               and               is               a               little               heavier,               but               the               wide               tires               won't               allow               gravel               or               loose               dirt               to               pull               the               handlebars               away               from               you.

Or               maybe               a               "commuter               bicycle,"               a               cross               between               a               road               bicycle               and               a               mountain               bike               is               better               for               you.
               Start               with               the               best               bicycle               you               can               afford.

Not               sure               about               commuting?

Start               with               a               department               store               bike-               if               you               decide               not               to               continue,               you're               not               out               several               hundred               dollars               for               a               fancy               bicycle.
               I               started               with               a               department               store               bicycle               from               Wal               Mart               for               $60               on               sale;               it               was               what               I               could               afford.

The               thing               weighed               nearly               50               pounds;               it               was               made               of               steel               with               steel               wheels               that               no               amount               of               adjusting               would               keep               the               rear               wheel               from               dragging               on               the               brakes.

(That's               very               annoying-               like               dragging               an               anchor               everywhere.)               I               found               lightweight               aluminum               wheels               online               from               Nashbar               on               sale               for               $35               (half               price)               and               put               them               on.

Presto!

The               bicycle               was               10               pounds               lighter               and               the               wheels               were               perfect.

A               year               later               and               saving               every               extra               penny               I               bought               a               GT               mountain               bike               on               sale               for               $219.

It               weighs               only               27               pounds               and               is               a               dream               to               ride.

Extra               thick               inner               tubes               reduce               the               number               of               flat               tires               to               almost               nothing.

Three               years               and               over               30,000               miles               later               it's               still               in               good               shape.

A               good               lock               is               essential               to               keeping               your               property               safe.
               Pawn               shops               and               yard               sales               aren't               a               bad               place               to               look               for               bicycles-               you               just               have               to               know               what               you're               looking               for               to               get               a               good               bargain.

Don't               expect               the               pawn               shop               employees               to               be               as               knowledgeable               as               the               bicycle               shop               owners.

Just               like               buying               a               car               from               a               private               owner,               take               a               bicycle               commuter               friend               with               you               who               knows               a               good               bicycle               when               they               see               one               and               can               give               you               good               advice.
               A               lot               of               cities               now               have               bus               transit               systems               that               have               bicycle               racks               attached               to               the               front               of               the               bus.

If               being               able               to               lift               the               bicycle               is               a               factor,               lift               it               at               the               store               first               before               buying               it.

Lift               with               your               legs,               not               your               back.
               Safety               Gear:               The               Next               Step
               Now               that               you               have               the               bicycle,               it's               time               to               protect               yourself               further.

Get               the               best               helmet               you               can               afford,               and               wear               it               properly.

The               helmet               is               worth               far               more               than               your               hairdo.

On               December               26,               2006               I               was               hit               by               a               20               ton               delivery               truck               whose               driver               wasn't               paying               attention.

I               was               picked               up               and               flipped               upside               down,               landing               on               my               head               and               shoulder.

My               helmet               saved               my               life.

When               there               is               an               impact,               replace               the               helmet.

It's               designed               and               made               for               only               one.

My               first               helmet               cost               me               $20               at               Wal               Mart.

Helmets               aren't               meant               to               keep               your               head               warm               in               the               winter               or               dry               in               the               rain;               more               about               that               later.
               All               states               require               the               use               of               lights               on               bicycles               after               dark.

In               Texas,               the               bicyclist               needs               to               have               a               light               in               front               that               can               be               seen               from               500               feet               away,               and               a               reflector               or               red               light               to               the               rear.

The               San               Antonio               Police               Department               began               to               issue               tickets               to               bicyclists               a               few               years               ago               in               an               effort               to               make               commuting               safer.

And               it's               the               law.

When               I               was               hit,               the               police               officer               noted               I               had               all               the               required               safety               gear               and               was               using               it.

The               truck               driver               couldn't               claim               I               was               unsafe.

I               bought               my               blinking               red               tail               light               for               about               $10               at               my               local               bike               shop               and               my               headlight               for               $50               online               from               Nashbar.

It               lights               the               road               in               front               of               the               bike               with               a               powerful               LED               light               and               survived               the               impact               from               the               truck.

That's               a               tough               light.

I               started               with               a               $3               short               flashlight               from               the               dollar               store               and               attached               it               to               my               handlebar               with               pipe               clamps.

I               had               a               short               $1               screwdriver               to               remove               it               when               I               got               to               work.
               I               also               ride               with               a               reflective               vest.

Although               not               required               by               law,               I               tell               people               I               want               to               be               as               visible               as               possible.

Drivers               who               are               paying               attention               will               see               me.

These               aren't               very               expensive,               and               can               be               found               at               bicycle               shops,               online               and               anywhere               safety               gear               and               clothing               is               sold.

After               dark,               the               headlights               hit               the               reflective               tape               and               shine,               telling               the               driver               you're               there.

Hand               wash               these               vests;               a               washing               machine               will               remove               the               reflective               material.
               Ride               with               sensible               shoes               or               boots.

Flip               flops               won't               protect               your               feet               if               they               slip               off               the               pedals               and               hit               the               ground.

I               have               a               Velcro               strap               with               reflective               tape               for               my               right               leg               that               I               use               to               keep               my               pants               leg               out               of               the               chain.

Tuck               your               shoestrings               into               your               shoes               or               boots.

Getting               caught               in               the               chain               is               an               experience               to               be               avoided-               especially               by               a               busy               road.
               Take               Your               Papers               and               Lunch               With               You
               Now               you               have               the               bike               and               the               safety               gear.

How               do               you               get               your               papers,               lunch               and               other               items               you               need               to               where               you're               going?

An               inexpensive               backpack               is               a               good               start,               ranging               from               a               few               dollars               to               over               a               hundred.

Don't               want               to               sweat               under               a               backpack?

Get               a               bike               rack               installed               over               the               rear               wheel               of               the               bike.

There               are               different               types;               your               bicycle               shop               will               know               the               best               model               for               your               bike.

I               got               my               first               one               from               Target               for               $15.

Some               will               allow               panniers               and               trunks               with               as               much               as               50               pounds               of               materials               in               them.

I               can               get               a               week's               worth               of               groceries               into               2               panniers               and               a               bicycle               trunk               with               light               stuff               in               my               backpack.
               What               is               a               pannier?

A               pannier               is               a               bag               that               is               designed               to               be               attached               to               one               side               of               the               bicycle               rack.

Some               come               with               pockets               for               extra               storage               while               others               are               fairly               basic.

I               got               mine               on               sale               online               from               Nashbar;               others               are               available               from               different               shops               both               online               and               in               stores               for               different               prices-               shop               first.

I               have               a               trunk               that               attaches               over               the               panniers               to               the               top               of               the               bike               rack               (again               one               sale               online               from               Nashbar).

I               didn't               realize               it               was               insulated               until               I               received               it-               a               true               bonus!

I               carried               my               breakfast               and               my               lunch               every               day,               and               have               hauled               ice               cream               the               3               miles               from               the               grocery               store               to               find               it               still               frozen               at               home.

It               has               a               pocket               on               top               for               more               storage,               and               a               small               pocket               on               the               back               where               I               hang               my               reflector               during               the               day               (a               large               red               reflector               from               Home               Depot               glued               to               an               old               clip)               and               my               blinking               red               taillight               at               night               so               it's               visible               for               the               drivers.

Just               unhook               the               panniers               and               trunk               and               take               them               into               the               store               or               work               with               you.
               If               your               panniers,               trunk               or               backpack               isn't               waterproof,               don't               despair.

There               are               waterproofing               products               available               in               the               camping               section               of               department               stores               that               can               be               sprayed               on.

If               water               still               gets               in               while               it               rains,               consider               placing               your               items               in               plastic               bags               inside               the               backpack               or               pannier(s).

There               are               even               panniers               that               are               made               just               for               carrying               a               suit               in               them               so               you               can               change               at               work.
               Trailers               are               also               extremely               useful               for               carrying               a               large               amount               of               goods.

I               have               an               InStep               trailer,               made               for               children               and               cargo               up               to               100               pounds.

I               got               it               from               my               local               bicycle               shop               for               $109.

I               carry               everything               from               groceries               to               trees               from               Home               Depot.

Cat               needs               to               go               to               the               vet?

Their               carrier               fits               perfectly               in               the               trailer.

While               the               trailer               doesn't               go               on               the               bus,               it               folds               up               very               quickly               and               gets               locked               to               the               bicycle               at               the               store.
               What               About               the               Weather?
               Never               underestimate               the               weather.

In               the               summer,               carry               extra               water               and               learn               where               the               shade               is               on               your               route.

Take               the               time               to               stop               and               relax,               take               a               few               drinks               and               cool               down               for               the               trip               home.

Wear               long               sleeve               cotton               shirts               or               a               bicycle               shirt               designed               to               wick               away               sweat.
               For               rain,               get               a               rain               suit.

If               cost               is               a               factor,               start               with               an               inexpensive               poncho.

One               word               about               these:               the               wind               is               going               to               turn               it               into               a               sail               and               the               experience               will               be               memorable.

I               got               a               rain               shirt               on               sale               (as               always)               online               from               Nashbar               for               about               $10,               and               a               pair               of               rain               pants               for               hikers               for               $10               from               Amazon.

They               work               well               together.

For               my               feet,               trash               bags               and               rubber               bands               work               wonderfully.

Cheap,               quick               and               store               in               very               little               space.

A               child               once               giggled               at               them,               and               I               remarked:               "Go               ahead               and               laugh.

They're               funny               looking,               aren't               they?

My               bags               match,               and               I               don't               track               mud               into               the               house!"               My               rain               suit               fits               into               the               side               pocket               of               my               pannier,               and               weighs               less               than               a               pound.

Since               I               always               carry               it,               it's               always               there.

A               cheap               rain               hat               from               the               dollar               store               fits               under               the               helmet.
               Winter               is               a               factor               on               its               own.

Wind               and               hills               make               the               wind               chill               factor               something               to               pay               attention               to.

Pay               attention               to               the               coat               you're               wearing-               a               heavy               one               is               going               to               make               your               ride               miserable,               and               a               long               one               will               make               your               commute               unsafe               to               nearly               impossible.

When               it's               financially               feasible,               buy               a               jacket               you               can               comfortably               ride               in               and               stay               warm               in.

In               my               area,               I               found               a               (yup,               on               sale               online               at               Land's               End)               a               ski               jacket,               and               a               ski               hat               that               fits               under               my               helmet.
               I               have               a               scarf               that               I               made               from               cutting               an               18               inch               wide               strip               of               polar               fleece               the               width               of               the               material               (no               sewing               needed)               and               wrap               around               my               neck               while               bringing               it               up               around               my               mouth               and               nose.

Tucked               into               the               helmet               straps,               I               do               not               have               a               sore               throat               from               riding               and               breathing               super               cold               air.

A               pair               of               clear               goggles               ($8               safety               goggles               from               Home               Depot)               keeps               my               eyes               from               drying               out.

I               don't               look               like               I've               been               crying               when               I               get               to               work.

Before               I               got               my               ski               hat,               I               wrapped               the               scarf               around               my               head               and               tucked               it               under               the               helmet.

Ski               pants               can               be               worn               in               colder               climates               and               work               well               on               bicycles;               here               in               San               Antonio,               Texas               it               doesn't               get               cold               enough               for               me               to               wear               them.
               Layers               work               best               in               my               climate.

I               know               what               temperature               the               jacket               will               handle               by               itself,               and               when               to               put               a               lightweight               lined               windbreaker               (waterproof)               over               it,               and               when               to               wear               a               sweater               under               both.

One               thing               to               note:               my               jackets               are               white.

Since               I               commute               in               the               dark               at               the               beginning               of               the               day,               and               in               the               winter               am               coming               home               in               the               dark,               white               is               a               reflective               color.

The               headlights               of               cars               and               motorcycles               light               up               the               jacket               and               they               know               I'm               there.

Dark               colors               aren't               reflective.

It's               best               to               be               safe.
               I               have               a               light               pair               of               gloves               for               use               when               it's               cold               but               not               freezing.

Another               pair               of               gloves               has               Thinsulate               insulation               (a               radiant               barrier               for               fabric)               from               a               ski               shop               for               $20.

(I               also               found               a               pair               of               these               gloves               on               sale               at               Wal               Mart               for               $7-               a               perfect               Christmas               gift               for               a               friend).
               The               best               rule               of               thumb               for               winter               is:               only               wear               enough               to               be               warm               when               riding               and               waiting               for               the               bus.

It               does               no               good               to               roast               and               sweat               or               freeze               while               you               ride               to               your               destination.
               If               there               is               ice,               get               off               the               road               and               ride               in               the               dirt.

That's               where               you'll               find               traction.

Get               to               your               destination               as               quickly               but               safely               as               you               can.

If               you               have               to               wrap               your               brakes               in               plastic               wrap               to               keep               them               from               icing               up               (yes,               it               can               happen               while               you               ride),               then               use               it.

Cars               slide               on               ice,               and               bicycles               will               too.

You               can               ride               on               the               grass,               cars               aren't               allowed.

If               it's               too               dangerous,               walk.
               Other               Items               to               Consider               Carrying
               Some               bicycle               commuters               carry               extra               inner               tubes               and               a               full               range               of               tools               to               fix               the               bicycle               if               something               happens.

I               don't               carry               extra               tubes;               they're               at               home.

Since               I               lift               the               bike               into               a               rack               on               the               bus               (waist               high               for               me),               and               take               two               to               three               busses               during               a               trip,               weight               is               a               factor.
               Expensive               "all-in-one               bicycle               tools"               aren't               necessary.

I               can               make               most               quick               repairs               with               a               stubby               screwdriver               with               different               tips               ($3               at               Wal               Mart),               a               dollar               store               short               pair               of               pliers               and               a               set               of               allen               wrenches               ($4               at               Home               Depot).
               A               good               water               bottle               isn't               expensive,               and               a               holder               that               attaches               to               the               bicycle               is               about               $5.

I               carry               extra               water               bottles               in               the               summer               in               the               panniers.
               Good               sunglasses               are               essential               for               seeing               during               the               day;               I               wear               a               pair               of               UV               safety               glasses               ($9               from               Home               Depot)               that               cut               the               glare               from               chrome               and               stop               road               debris               from               getting               to               my               eyes.

I               would               shower               the               night               before               and               use               a               shower               powder               in               the               morning.

Carrying               an               extra               shirt               to               change               into               also               helps.

In               the               years               I've               been               bicycle               commuting               I               have               NEVER               encountered               a               single               complaint               of               "sweat               odor."
               Safety               Tips               to               Keep               You               Safe
               Know               the               laws               regarding               bicycles               in               your               state.

They're               usually               listed               in               the               driver's               handbook-               the               same               one               you               get               your               driver's               license               from.

All               car               and               truck               drivers               should               read               this               section               too.
               Know               where               you               can               ride-               in               Texas,               I               can               go               onto               the               sidewalk               as               long               as               I               don't               bother               pedestrians;               however,               in               California,               doing               the               same               thing               will               get               me               a               ticket.

The               traffic               laws               of               Texas               allow               bicyclists               to               ride               as               far               to               the               right               as               safely               possible               if               there               isn't               a               bike               lane               available.

If               an               obstacle               is               in               the               way,               riders               can               go               into               the               lane               (look               first!),               get               past               the               obstacle,               then               back               to               the               right               again.

There               are               riders               who               brag               that               they               ride               in               the               center               of               the               lane               "to               force               cars               to               go               around               them,"               but               this               is               asking               for               disaster               if               there               is               an               inattentive               driver               or               someone               suffering               from               road               rage.

The               idea               is               to               be               a               safe               bicycle               commuter.
               Bicycle               riders               can               use               the               left               hand               turn               lanes               in               Texas,               and               once               the               turn               is               made,               go               to               the               far               right               again.

This               should               be               used               with               discretion;               there               are               roads               with               drivers               that               no               amount               of               money               or               force               could               get               me               to               use               while               others               I               feel               safe               with.

If               I               don't               feel               safe,               I               use               the               crosswalk.

It's               fun               to               make               traffic               stop               for               me.

Once               across               the               road,               I               mount               up               and               go.
               Know               which               side               of               the               road               you're               supposed               to               be               on.

In               the               United               States,               it's               the               right               side               of               the               road.

Pedestrians               were               taught               to               walk               "against               the               traffic"               in               the               1960's               in               the               hope               drivers               would               see               them.

Bicyclists               riding               the               wrong               way               create               just               as               much               danger               as               a               car               going               the               wrong               way.
               Bicycles               can               ride               on               the               access               roads               but               not               on               the               shoulders               of               highways.

This               is               just               common               sense.
               STOP               AT               ALL               STOP               SIGNS               AND               RED               LIGHTS!

This               is               not               optional.

It's               the               law.

The               minute               you               put               a               bicycle               on               the               road,               it's               part               of               traffic               and               subject               to               the               traffic               laws.

Too               many               bad               bicyclists               make               it               hard               for               the               good               ones               to               get               respect               from               drivers.

More               police               departments               handing               out               tickets               and               fines               will               help.
               NEVER               carry               a               person               or               anything               heavy               on               the               handlebars.

You               won't               be               able               to               maneuver               if               you               need               to.

If               there's               a               person               on               your               handlebars,               you               won't               be               able               to               see,               either.

Obtain               and               use               panniers,               trunk               and/or               backpack.
               Maintain               the               bicycle.

Keep               tires               properly               inflated-               this               will               allow               you               to               maneuver               and               to               ride               smoothly,               and               will               reduce               the               number               of               flats.

A               bicycle               with               a               low               or               flat               tire               is               extremely               difficult               to               maneuver.

Keep               the               chain               oiled-               a               dry               chain               won't               change               gears               easily               and               could               snap               while               you're               riding.

Keep               it               inside               at               night,               and               don't               allow               the               chain               to               rust.

A               rusty               chain               could               snap               or               bend               while               you're               riding               leading               to               a               disaster.

Keep               the               brakes               and               cables               in               good               order.

When               I               touch               my               brakes               I               want               the               bike               to               stop.

Trying               to               "Flintstone"               at               every               stop               (dragging               your               feet               on               the               ground)               is               too               dangerous               and               just               stupid.
               Don't               listen               to               music               in               both               ears               when               riding.

Use               only               one               earplug,               and               listen               to               traffic.

You               need               to               be               able               to               hear               when               cars               come               close.
               PAY               ATTENTION               to               EVERYTHING               around               you.

To               commute               safely,               you               need               to               pay               attention               to               traffic               roughly               10               times               more               than               everyone               else.

Your               awareness               will               allow               you               to               anticipate               situations               and               avoid               them.

For               example,               one               day               the               highway               was               shut               down,               so               traffic               was               shunted               to               the               road               I               take               home               every               night.

It               had               rained               hard,               so               the               ground               was               muddy.

There               was               a               long               line               of               impatient               drivers               that               I               sailed               by               on               the               shoulder.

I               noticed               about               a               quarter               mile               ahead               of               me               that               a               truck               went               into               the               ditch,               came               up               on               the               road               and               bypassed               the               intersection.

I               KNEW               someone               else               was               going               to               try               it,               too.

I               slowed               down,               and               moved               about               a               foot               further               into               the               mud               (I               ride               a               mountain               bike),               only               a               few               seconds               later,               the               second               car               ahead               of               me               shot               out               into               the               ditch,               right               into               my               path.

I               was               able               to               avoid               him               by               going               completely               into               the               ditch.

I               was               covered               in               mud,               but               alive.

The               driver               yelled               out               the               window               that               he               was               sorry,               "he               didn't               see               me."               I               told               him               if               he               had               been               looking,               he               would               have.

He               cursed,               and               gunned               his               engine.

He               was               stuck               in               the               mud.

I               went               past               him,               and               the               other               traffic               did               the               same.

I               have               managed               to               avoid               other               incidents               like               this               one,               too               by               being               alert.

Your               road               instincts               will               develop.
               When               coming               to               an               intersection               that               has               a               stop               sign               or               a               red               light,               NEVER               stop               along               side               the               car               that's               first               in               line.

Too               often,               the               bicyclist               is               going               straight               and               the               car               will               turn               right.

Not               all               car               drivers               are               paying               attention               to               what's               around               them               or               use               their               turn               signals.

If               you               do               see               a               right               turn               signal,               stop               behind               the               car.

When               that               car               turns,               go               straight.

If               cars               seem               to               be               coming               close               to               me               when               I               do               this,               I               turn               around               and               look               at               them.

They               stop.
               Learn               ahead               of               time               to               avoid               potential               dangerous               situations.

Preparation               is               the               key               to               survival               on               the               road               for               all               bicycle               commuters.
               For               school               zones,               when               a               bus               stops               and               puts               out               the               stop               sign,               bicyclists               need               to               stop               too.

Remember,               it's               a               STOP               sign.

Impact               with               a               moving               bicycle               and               a               rider               can               be               disastrous-               it               won't               be               pretty.
               Parents               with               bicycle               commuting               school               children               need               to               insist               on               helmet               use               and               safe               riding.

They               can               also               get               involved               in               the               community               and               start               "bicycle               season"               notices,               flyers,               get               with               the               local               community               newspapers               to               advertise               bicycle               safety               for               both               riders               and               car               drivers               and               perhaps               call               en               masse               to               the               local               radio               and               TV               stations               for               safety               spots               on               the               air.

Having               reflective               gear,               proper               lights               and               a               safe               way               to               carry               their               belongings               will               also               help               to               keep               kids               safe.

(Had               helmets               been               around               when               I               was               a               child               in               the               '60s               my               mother               would               have               made               it               simple:               no               helmet,               no               bike.)
               Avoid               riding               in               narrow               alleyways               or               narrow               unlit               roads               where               the               speed               limit               is               more               than               35               or               40               mph.

At               night,               even               with               proper               gear,               drivers               may               not               be               paying               attention.
               When               leaving               a               driveway,               look               both               ways.

I               know,               but               some               people               just               shoot               out               and               expect               drivers               to               be               able               to               see,               recognize               and               instantly               stop.

They               can't.
               Don't               weave               in               and               out               around               parked               cars.

This               is               an               invitation               for               disaster.

If               there               is               a               long               line               of               cars,               ride               in               the               lane.
               If               traffic               is               backed               up,               take               the               shoulder               or               sidewalk               (if               the               law               allows)               to               the               right               and               travel.

Don't               ever               try               to               ride               between               cars               in               backed               up               traffic.

Some               person,               by               accident               or               nefarious               design,               could               open               a               door               that               you               run               into               and               get               injured               or               killed.
               Enjoy               Yourself
               After               all               the               above,               enjoy               yourself.

The               gear               can               be               bought               over               time;               it               doesn't               need               to               be               purchased               all               at               once.

It               took               a               few               years               to               get               everything               together.

When               I               began,               I               gave               myself               a               few               rules:
               Take               it               easy.

See               the               sights               while               you               ride.

I               have               seen               wildlife               beside               the               road               that               car               drivers               never               pay               attention               to.

If               there's               a               traffic               jam,               I               take               to               the               sidewalk               and               smile.
               Never               feel               sorry               for               yourself.

Get               a               good               look               at               a               gas               sign               (going               up               again)               and               smile.
               Your               muscles               will               stop               hurting               and               start               building.

You               won't               need               a               gym,               your               friends               will.

Smile.
               The               majority               of               people               in               the               world               don't               own               or               drive               cars.

They               ride               bicycles.

You               are               in               the               majority.

Smile.
               You               don't               have               to               fight               over               a               parking               space.

Park               wherever               you               want               to               and               smile.
               Everyone               wants               to               borrow               a               pickup               truck.

No               one               wants               to               borrow               a               bicycle.

Smile.
               You               don't               need               AAA               for               a               flat.

Smile.
               Fixing               your               bike               doesn't               require               a               second               mortgage               or               a               computer               tech.

Smile.
               Your               friends               might               have               to               work               on               their               cars               in               the               rain               and               cold;               take               your               ride               inside               where               it's               warm               and               dry               to               work               on               and               smile.
               No               one               asks               you               for               rides               everywhere.

Smile.
               Every               once               in               a               while               when               the               weather               is               really               hot               or               really               bad,               some               nice               angel               stops               and               gives               you               and               your               bike               a               ride.

Smile.
               While               others               are               fighting               over               parking               spaces,               most               security               guards               will               allow               you               to               lock               the               bicycle               in               a               place               where               they               will               keep               an               eye               on               it               for               you.

Drivers               park               at               their               own               risk.

Smile.
               Bicycle               commuters               are               healthier               and               live               longer               because               they               get               their               exercise               on               the               way               to               and               from               work               where               they               release               the               stress               of               the               day.

Smile.
               Number               one               rule:               relax               and               smile.

All               the               bicycle               commuters               I               know               seem               to               lead               less               stressful               lives               because               they               have               learned               to               live               at               an               easier               pace.

    About 'second hand cheap cars'|The price of translation – why is it like buying a second-hand car  #xl8








    In               August               I               traveled               back               to               the               area               where               I               grew               up,               seacoast               New               Hampshire.

    I               needed               to               take               care               of               some               personal               business,               see               some               friends,               and               wanted               to               visit               my               parent's               gravesite.

    I               haven't               been               back               in               several               years               and               I'm               old               school               enough               to               feel               the               pilgrimage               to               pay               my               respects               to               my               parents               in               person               is               warranted               now               and               then.

    Besides,               I               don't               want               to               take               the               chance               that               my               mother               will               have               something               to               nag               me               about               in               the               afterlife.

    Although               I               have               generous               standing               offers               from               friends               and               relatives               still               in               the               area               for               a               free               night's               lodging,               I               decided               to               treat               myself               and               do               a               review               at               the               same               time.

    So               I               made               a               reservation               at               a               premium               national               chain               hotel               near               the               river               because               of               its               reputation,               which               I               have               only               heard               second-hand               and               its               location               -               which               I               know               is               outstanding.
                   The               hotel               sits               directly               across               from               the               Piscataqua               River,               easily               accessible               from               Interestate               95               and               within               walking               distance               of               all               the               downtown               Portsmouth               attractions               that               make               the               city               a               popular               tourist               stop.

    The               Saturday               evening               I               was               there               I               went               to               the               center               of               town,               called               "Market               Square".

    I               was               treated               to               a               free               live               music               concert               of               cajun               swing.

    In               addition               that               night               there               was               a               live               outdoor               performance               of               "Oliver"               at               Prescott               Park,               another               venue               right               on               the               river               in               a               lovely               outdoor               setting.

    So               a               variety               of               indoor               and               outdoor               entertainment               is               available               for               both               children               and               adults.
                   Check               in               was               easy               enough,               although               the               desk               clerk               was               the               fastest               speaker               this               side               of               the               Mississippi.

    I've               been               a               hyped-up               Yankee               all               my               life,               but               even               I               had               to               ask               this               young               woman               to               slow               down.

    So               she               made               more               of               a               pause               between               words,               but               still               spoke               the               words               just               as               quickly.

    Anyone               coming               in               from               the               south               or               overseas               may               likely               leave               and               try               another               hotel               where               they               speak               English.

    Either               that               or               grab               a               translator               from               the               sidewalk               outside               the               hotel.
                   I               was               given               my               room               key,               mini-bar               key               and               directed               to               the               elevators.

    No               amenities               or               attractions               of               any               kind               were               mentioned               to               me               at               check-in.

    Because               this               is               considered               "peak"               season,               I               paid               a               peak               season               rate               and               expected               a               landslide               of               brochures               shoved               my               way               to               "take               advantage               of               all               the               area               has               to               offer".

    Also,               I               did               expect               at               least               some               kind               of               snack               offering               or               a               reminder               of               free               coffee               in               the               morning.

    Nada.

    Oh               there               was               a               sloppy               lemonade               pitcher               and               a               few               glasses               on               a               table               near               the               door               in               the               lobby,               but               no               sign,               no               attendee,               no               help.

    It's               at               times               like               this               that               I               wonder               if               I               were               a               man               alone               or               had               a               man               with               me               would               I               have               gotten               more               attention?

    I               was               not               wearing               my               mink               stole,               but               I               was               dressed               business               casual.

    Who               knows?

    So               I               scheleped               my               own               single               bag               up               to               my               room               and               downed               the               first               beverage               I               could               grab               out               of               the               mini-bar.
                   The               parking               situation               is               unique.

    The               hotel               is               designed               in               the               round               with               a               large               open               "courtyard".

    It               looks               lovely,               but               the               courtyard               is               only               a               circular               asphalt               driveway               with               an               entrance               to               underground               parking.

    There               is               no               roof               or               covering               of               any               kind               -               even               at               the               main               entry               to               the               hotel.

    So               if               you               are               a               slow               poke               getting               out               of               your               car,               you               will               be               exposed               to               whatever               mode               of               weather               is               dominant               at               the               time.

    Now               if               this               hotel               were               in               southern               California               or               Arizona,               the               design               would               make               sense.

    However,               in               New               England,               where               even               in               summer               precipitation               of               many               kinds               and               high               winds               could               happen               anytime,               this               design               -               well               -               'tis               folly.
                   They               do               have               an               underground               parking               space,               at               an               additional               fee.

    There               is               valet               parking,               for               an               additional               fee.

    Since               I               was               already               paying               twice               what               I               normally               would               for               a               room,               I               opted               to               park               myself               in               the               lot               across               the               road.

    Walking               back               to               the               courtyard               is               not               too               bad,               even               if               you               are               towing               your               own               bags,               depending               on               how               "chi               chi"               you               want               to               pretend               to               be.

    However,               when               you               leave               it               could               be               snowing.

    Hey,               this               is               New               England.
                   The               room               was               lovely,               generously               furnished               with               new,               attractive               items.

    It               was               immaculate,               except               for               a               bit               of               dust,               and               was               decorated               with               top               quality               accoutrements.

    Sound               was               an               issue,               not               from               next               door,               but               from               the               hallway.

    The               couple               across               from               me               were               arguing               every               time               they               entered               or               exited               their               room               (which               was               frequently)               and               they               let               their               door               slam               every               time.

    But               there               were               no               gun               shots               or               piercing               screams               so               I               guess               it               turned               out               okay.
                   The               other               room               detail               I               found               odd               was               that               only               the               light               filtering               curtains               closed               all               the               way.

    The               room               darkening               curtains               were               stationary               at               a               wide               open               stance.

    I               checked               for               hidden               cameras               and               surmised               that               as               a               cost               savings,               they               figured               the               4th               floor               was               high               enough               to               let               people               on               the               street               enjoy               the               naked               silouhettes               of               the               guests.

    But               what               if               I               did               not               want               the               sun               streaming               into               my               room               the               second               it               broke               dawn               over               the               horizon?

    Luckily               it               was               overcast               the               next               morning.
                   There               were               the               usual               compliment               of               "toiletries"               including               a               hairdryer,               iron,               ironing               board,               coffee               maker,               fully               stocked               mini-bar,               free               wireless               broadband               internet               (a               very               nice               perk)               and               plenty               of               cups               and               glasses.

    There               was               a               small               but               heated               indoor               pool               available               and               a               very               clean               fitness               room.

    There               was               a               mysterious               "CL"               level               -               or               club               level,               but               no               description               or               enticement               anywhere               as               to               what               that               was               or               how               you               could               qualify               for               it.
                   I               was               immediately               signed               up               for               their               SPG               plan.

    But               again,               no               explanation               was               given               except               to               call               the               front               desk               anytime               since               there               was               a               person               on               duty               24/7.

    Since               I               has               no               idea               what               that               was               -               I               was               tempted               to               wait               until               3am               (I'm               an               insomniac)               and               call               the               front               desk               and               ask               agonizingly               slow               questions               about               the               CL               level               and               non-associated               other               items.

    Sorry               -               sometimes               I               can't               help               thinking               with               the               teenage               part               of               my               brain.
                   There               did               not               appear               to               be               any               kind               of               complimentary               breakfast.

    If               there               was,               they               were               doing               a               darn               good               job               of               hiding               it.

    I               found               that               especially               odd               because               even               the               most               economical               (cheap)               places               I've               stayed               offer               you               coffee               and               donuts               in               the               morning.

    I               did               see               people               walking               out               of               the               dining               area               with               plates               piled               high               with               food,               but               there               was               no               indication               from               the               front               desk               or               any               signage               in               the               room               or               anywhere               else               to               indicate               who               it               was               for               or               if               it               was               free               or               paid.

    No               -               I'm               not               the               kind               who               steals               the               towels,               sheets,               blankets               and               glasses               out               of               the               rooms.

    I               just               really               thought               such               a               fancy               place               would               have               some               perks               other               than               the               internet.

    (Which               was               the               whole               point               of               me               booking               in               there).
                   There               was               the               obligatory               "book"               in               the               room               that               is               supposed               to               list               all               the               amenities               in               the               hotel               and               the               area               -               but               it               was               sparse               at               best.

    Not               even               a               list               of               local               churches               was               provided.

    From               my               perspective,               this               hotel               missed               a               prime               marketing               opportunity               to               upsell               guests               on               other               accomodations,               specials,               offers,               etc.

    The               last               page               on               mine               was               torn               out               and               sitting               there.

    Hotel               Stationary               was               non-existent.

    There               was               one               pen               on               the               desk.

    But               the               desk               space               was               very               generous               and               sturdy.

    The               room               layout               was               lovely               and               spacious.

    The               beds,               touted               as               "sweet               sleepers"               were               quite               comfortable               with               plenty               of               pillows               (a               pet               peeve               of               mine)               nicely               fluffed.
                   The               TV               functioned               fine               except               I               found               it               extremely               odd               that               it               did               not               swivel               or               turn               at               all.

    I               was               in               a               room               with               two               double               beds.

    The               TV               was               comfortably               viewable               from               only               one.

    Now               that               isn't               a               make               or               break               deal               for               me               since               I               was               alone,               but               I               could               see               siblings               battling               it               out               to               the               death               for               who               gets               to               watch               from               the               "prime"               viewable               bed.

    With               the               number               of               glasses               in               the               room               one               would               believe               the               hotel               expected               partying.

    So               if               you               were               planning               a               room               full               to               view               a               movie,               I               guess               you               just               have               to               hand               out               tickets               ahead               of               time               for               the               grownups               with               "sitting"               times.
                   Remember               the               parking               situation?

    At               checkout,               it               was               raining               moderately               but               steadily.

    The               front               desk               clerk               (who               made               a               math               error               on               my               bill               which               I               had               to               point               out               and               ask               for               a               change)               suggested               that               I               "run               now               before               it               gets               worse".

    Run?

    Did               she               say               "run"?
                   Should               a               guest               who               has               paid               top               dollar               for               one               night               in               an               exclusive               hotel               be               told               to               "run"               for               it?

    I               was               on               my               way               to               a               casual               party,               but               nontheless,               I               had               spent               extra               time               on               a               spiffy               hairdo.

    There               was               no               offer               of               an               umbrella               lend/rental               or               valet               service               due               to               the               conditions.

    No               other               suggestions               were               made.

    I               wish               my               83               year               old               mother               had               been               with               me.

    If               I               had               turned               to               her               and               told               her               she               had               to               run               in               her               skirt               and               heels,               in               the               rain,               through               the               courtyard               across               the               street               and               through               the               lot               dragging               her               own               bag               behind               her.

    Well,               the               image               of               that               alone               made               me               laugh               for               ten               minutes,               but               she               would               have               climbed               over               the               front               desk               and               beaten               the               young               women               behind               it               to               a               pulp.
                   But               my               mother               was               not               there               so               I               "ran",               bags               in               tow,               my               less               than               slim               body               bobbing               and               weaving               through               the               courtyard               trying               to               avoid               bumping               into               other               running               guests               and               cars.

    I               couldn't               help               but               think               that               I               might               bump               into               someone,               fall               to               ground               and               see               my               underwear               spill               out               onto               the               wet               pavement.

    I               needed               to               wash               it               anyway.....so               I               could               just               add               soap.
