My Morning Commute

[MRH5028]

I think I may have seen you guys, you passed me then I was behind you for a bit until you peeled off for the pop-up tents in Falls Church. Had no idea what it was. I had a black backpack, blue jersey, on a black and white trek.

Will have to look into the caravan for next time.

The polar vortex didn’t even slow me down (#BAFS), but the pollen might be my undoing:

I’ll be calling the ophthalmologist, and if I have to go to her office, I think I’ll drive.

HOLY SH!T the ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE IS UPON US!

I left my bike home this morning, and so I got off the train, and got on bike share. Well I got to the bike share station, and set everything up, and then realized that I’d left my fob on the keys in my other backpack. So I’m rather jealous of all the two wheeled commuters out there this morning. On the flip side, I did get in double my usual mileage yesterday, but, but, it’s so not fair! I hope you all enjoyed your rides extra today.

You’re infected. You stay away from me because I will not hesitate to stake you.

Wait, am I getting my genres crossed?

Did you call? I am under the impression (though may be totally wrong), that if you forget your fob, and you call customer service, they can hook you up with a number, like what the daily memberships get. I’d love to know if I’m wrong.

If the eye doc is going to dilate your pupils, I suggest walk/metro/bus/cab instead of bike or drive…

But yeah, Tuesday night, my eyes looked like that and I didn’t even realize it until I went to take out my contact lenses.

No dilation, thankfully! Got drops, and my eyes haven’t felt this good in weeks. Three different kinds to pick up on the way home, though. While I was there, I looked at some Rudy Project sports glasses that can get prescription inserts; they would give better protection than my regular glasses do. They look pretty cool. Anyone tried them?

What kind of drops did the doc prescribe? Just curious since I’ve got allergy eyes too.

See… Didn’t I tell you that hybrids aren’t the “be all and end all” of bikes?:rolleyes:

Why do you need three different kinds of eye drops instead of just one? Also, what are the main ingredients used in them?

I’ve been using allergy eye drops (antihistamine and redness reliever, CVS brand) for the past 2 months, and they’ve been great when I’m wearing contacts. I mean, I now don’t have to stop in the middle of a ride because my eyes are burning because I started using the allergy eye drops instead of just normal eye drops. Seriously, I’ve been riding for years with red, irritated eyes by the time I returned home, and now it’s no longer an issue.
