    Every day I commute I tell myself, “this is better than metro.” When the weather is real shitty i make sure to repeat it out loud to everyone I see.

    That’s always been my motto. When I was in school, not only was I chosen last for every team, but the guy chosen just before me was unable to walk very well due to polio. (True story!) One of the things I like about biking is that I don’t feel obligated to try for speed, just for getting there in the end.

    I think I was the guy chosen before you, except I didn’t have polio.

    “don’t die don’t die don’t die don’t die”

    I remember it used to be “Yay! Sunshine!” but that when I was smarter and mostly just leisurely toodled along bike paths in nice weather, with much lower risk of crashing*, lungs exploding, freezing to death, or being run over by cars than the stupid things I do now. So, um, thanks? for the inspiration, bike family.

    *there was still the occasional crashing, to be totally honest here. In addition to also being picked last in gym class (though I had no classmates with polio to compete against) I was, accurately, voted “most clumsy” by my senior class in high school (while others were getting honors such as “most likely to succeed”, “most popular”, and “most likely to go to jail”), so that’s just to be expected.

    “Just keep spinning!” in the voice of Ellen DeGeneres as Dory in Finding Nemo.

    I have another:

    Wherever you bike, there you are.

    Bike may use full lane!

    Alternatively, R4-11 rocks!

    A friend used WSGFABR on FB yesterday and so when I had to look it up, I found this very useful thread. Lots of good mantras here! Mine is:

    Namaste Motherf*cker, or when I’m feeling more polite: Namaste, Motherf*cker.

    If it’s not raining, it’s not training …

    It does not get easier, but you get faster …

    Happy trails…
