I had a breakthrough this weekend.
I finally found a safe route to cycle from Boyds, MD to Gaithersburg, MD – and don’t need to take the train any more. My transportation expenses in Maryland are getting close to zero.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Time to raise the cycling tax. You are callously depriving MD of their taxes. 😉
It’s only a pause!
I don’t think you should be publishing your whereabouts & destinations, you are causing a lot of trouble & exposing a lot of high end fraud.
A guy on a bike is easily dealt with.
stay safe.
Agreed.
Many years ago I biked from home to Goddard SFC and home ( with a stop at the varsity grill in College Park.) More than 10 miles. It was cheap! Many times I had a flat tire from glass and debris on the side of the road (no bike paths then). And then the problem with occasional showers in the evening. Cheaper than owning a car, but not free.
Raining tonight. I will probably have to take the train.
I just hope you are careful. I have known too many people that had serious or fatal accidents on bikes.
A 20 minute ride. Wow.
About one hour and twenty minutes
7 milles ? (google earth) Walking would be faster.
How did you conclude that the route I am taking is seven miles? I didn’t provide any information about that, other than that it is a safe route.
I did not. But Boyds, MD to Gaithersburg, MD are 7 milles/ 11,26 km (google earth). So knowing the bike you use the safe route most be a lot longer. You couldn’t get on the train with the bike ? Is the safe route winter proof ?
(must)
7 milles takes 1000 steps. The “mile” derives from the Roman mille, or 1000 paces. Apparently the Romans took paces that were 5.28 feet long
“Apparently the Romans took paces that were 5.28 feet long”
A pace is composed of two steps, hence the approximation of a miler as equal to a ‘mille passus’ is pretty accurate.
Ah, Cat – you just destroyed the myth of the Romans being Giants! 😉

I see it’s still raining this morning.

I rode home last night at 10PM wearing large plastic garbage bags to keep dry.
Did you look like a dark green version of the marshmallow man ? 🙂
ps.. I am making an assumption that plastic garbage bags are a sort of dark olive green over there, like they are here.
ps.. a note to all motorcycle riders.
plastic garbage bags DO NOT WORK on a motorbike !
“ps.. I am making an assumption that plastic garbage bags are a sort of dark olive green over there, like they are here.”
Garbage bags are generally black. Bags for garden waste are generally green. Bags for builders’ debris are blue.
There are no less than 7 – yes SEVEN – different colours of waste bin that some councils insist you sort all your garbage into and store on your property, somewhat onerous if you live in a small flat…
Zero? I bike too and still have to pay for brake pads, tires and the occasional chain and sprocket.
Not to mention coca-cola, which is my standard bike fuel.
Try water.
There is no glucose or caffeine in water, but there is water in coca-cola.
And no CO2
I think you should use you time on this planet to help increase the CO2 level as much as you can, for the plants. There are fossil fuels all around that need to be burned, and riding a bike is very selfish of you, because you are making us do all the work. CO2 levels should be 1000 ppmv or more, and unless we get another P-T mantle plume or asteroid, the only way we can do this is by regular use of automobiles.
I and my green friends demands 1200 ppm of atmospheric CO2 to be comfortable.
My friends are starving.
My green friends have too many stomata, and lose too much water through them.
But but but you’re a hateful Denier! You must be chauffer driven in a Humvee, with Exxon-Mobil logos on it , smoking a cheroot, lit with the $100 bills provided for you by The Koch Brothers!
Funny old world eh? Those who point out the Emperor’s dress sense, like yourself & A.Watts Esq (Driver of a little electric car) are the ones using the type of transport that those who tell us we must make sacrifices to Save the Planet are travelling in a manner that is so evil!
