  1. Regardless of the fact that I had a close call, I still ride to work.
    However, I still find that I don't get enough riding in. I started
    riding over my lunch break. The ride took awhile to figure out the
    best routes to get the most diverse types of riding possible in such a
    short period of time.

    I have an aerial photo here:

  2. The ride starts at work (A), typically around 12:30. ROughly the time I
    need out everyday so I don't go postal. I roll out to (B) and hop on
    the railroad tracks which are no longer in service. I follow the
    tracks all the way to (C). That (C) is a beer distributor, I use all
    my self control and turn away from the beer distributor. I cross the
    road to Subway (D). I get a sandwich, stuff it in my jacket and leave.

    Now on the way back I follow the route southwest until I reach the
    entrance of the bike/jogging trail (1). I follow that trail because
    its fairly isolated by a little bit of woods and there's very few
    people. At the rail bridge (2) I stop to eat that sandwich. Then I
    follow the trail which at this point is no longer a beaten dirt path,
    it's paved. I turn off the trail back on to the road at the elderly
    care center (3) and follow the road back to work.

    It's a good workout, but not too rough for the middle of the work day.
    If any of you guys here live in southwestern Pennsyvania, try riding
    this trail. It's cool if you're not looking for anything too extreme.

  4. I'm riding a 26 inch track monster. That red and black K1 seat is sooo
    comfortable I can ride for hours.

  6. Do you know how long that ride is?

    Also: is there really a Bodhisattva, Pennsylvania? And are there any
    actual bodhisattvas in Bodhisattva?

    i know i could \"google it\" but it's more satisfying to ask and i
    might learn something google doesn't know

  7. I'll answer the Bodhissattva question first. No, ther eis no
    Bodhisattva Pennsylvania. That is an inside joke that goes way back to
    high school. Actually, the guy who said I should try riding a unicycle
    in the first place was the guy who made the joke.

    Second, I don't really know what to say about the K1 saddle for street
    riding. I don't do tricks, so I can't really say how well the saddle
    would work. I can tell you is that I like it much better than any
    torker, sun or bell saddles I have ever had. I think it is around $40
    if you go to renegdae juggling. ( www.renegadejuggling.com ). They're
    good guys and can answer any questions you might have about which
    saddle to get. You might want to ask someone there because k1 makes
    about a half dozen different saddles.

    I ordered it yesterday 🙂 , it's fine if it's not _perfect_ for street
    and stuff, as long as its comfortable to sit on and slim for SIF 😄

    And thanks for the help
