I’d recommend getting back on the bike and pedaling with your feet
That’s what Dirt would do, right?

My dear wife read this over my shoulder and said she strongly disagreed with this rule. Seems she thinks me in kit is pay back for her manning the household helm while I am out peddling around.
Hiding her glasses helps too.
I made this mistake once. After a really warm day, I sat in my chair (cooling off in the A/C) for about 30 minutes before heading up to the shower. I don’t have terribly sensitive skin, but that 30 minutes wrecked me for a few days. I’m still not sure what caused the rash, but it did go away ladies, so I’m all safe now

I’m a WABA member! And I bought a jersey (which doesn’t even come close to fitting, damn non-XL XLs)

Is it the stop lights and waiting that slows you down? Do you have a Strava file of your ride?
It’s really the whole having to jump a bus part, but that ultimately saves a lot of miles. Other than that, yeah, there are quite a few stoplights and signs that I won’t run. There are also some hills, not mountains, just little hills. But I’m not a climber
Something I need to work on.Here’s one of my “average” rides. Sometimes I’m faster, sometimes I’m slower: http://app.strava.com/activities/26040044

I would recommend just pedaling faster.
That doesn’t work, I have gears. Good advice for the other 1/2 of the forum.
I likely won’t get too much faster. I’m 43, I’m fat, I have arthritis and bad(ish) knees that act up if I stress them too much. Honestly, my only good option is to be happy with the days I do get to ride. The other option would be to move, or get a new job. I’m considering those.

My youthful sentence structure?
My definitively 30-something use of smileys?:p;)
(boring but likely answer) You’ve confused me with an actual 30- or 20- something forum member who’s actually made it to a happy hour or other meetup?
(less likely but both more scary and more interesting) You have some kind of reverse web-cam thingy that lets you spy on the rest of us through the intertubes and you’re actually watching me as I type this?
hah, I totally had you confused with acc, sorry!

I love the idea of lasers on bicycles, but these seem to do nothing in terms of “ninja elimination or negation.” Pass.
they’re actually almost completely useless as far as lighting goes
