canthus13 | wow. over 24 hours without a peep from anyone. | 06:25 |
---|---|---|
* Cheri703 lurks | 06:25 | |
* Unit193 is here | 06:25 | |
canthus13 | Heh. a room full of introverts. | 06:26 |
* BiosElement stares at the room | 06:26 | |
canthus13 | IRC wallflowers, that's us. | 06:26 |
* Unit193 hides under a table | 06:28 | |
* Cheri703 has been drooling over velomobiles today | 06:49 | |
canthus13 | Cheri703: Nice, but not very practical in the winter... | 06:50 |
Cheri703 | heck yeah they are | 06:50 |
Cheri703 | not in 3 inches of slush, but anything less than that, you can manage | 06:50 |
canthus13 | I'm thinking more of the cold... | 06:50 |
Cheri703 | they're surprisingly warm | 06:50 |
Cheri703 | mostly enclosed, wear a jacket, you'll generate heat :) | 06:51 |
Cheri703 | scroll to the bottom for the 10 reasons you should get a velo: http://www.bentrideronline.com/?p=1733 | 06:52 |
Cheri703 | :) | 06:52 |
canthus13 | wonder what kind of hassle the cops give you in one of those... | 06:53 |
Cheri703 | some people get hassled | 06:53 |
Cheri703 | people call it in as a go-kart on the road | 06:53 |
Cheri703 | but in MOST states, as long as it has 3 or fewer wheels, it's legally a bike | 06:53 |
canthus13 | Ride naked? :) | 06:54 |
Cheri703 | so try as they might, there are no legal reasons they can keep you off the road | 06:54 |
canthus13 | Ohio has weird laws, though. | 06:54 |
Cheri703 | well, I'm just saying, heat isn't a huge deal | 06:54 |
canthus13 | :) | 06:54 |
Cheri703 | there are several people in ohio with them (well, a few I guess, not several) | 06:54 |
canthus13 | But yeah... | 06:54 |
Cheri703 | yeah, I'd do plenty of research before getting one. and I'm sure the hillbillies around here will give me crap, but...eh | 06:55 |
Cheri703 | worth it | 06:55 |
Unit193 | what if you get tired? | 06:56 |
canthus13 | Take a nap. | 06:56 |
Cheri703 | you take a break | 06:56 |
Cheri703 | you're sitting in a recliner | 06:56 |
Cheri703 | so...pull over, have a snack, rest a bit | 06:57 |
Cheri703 | and you build up your conditioning gradually | 06:57 |
Cheri703 | some people commute about 20 miles each way, DAILY on their bike/trike/velomobile | 06:57 |
* Cheri703 would need to get in shape, but could do it | 06:57 | |
canthus13 | I really should get on my bike again.. | 06:58 |
* canthus13 used to ride 20-30 miles a day as a kid, just for fun. | 06:58 | |
Unit193 | I'm too fat and lazy to go all over with a bike/velomobile... | 06:58 |
Unit193 | from here to galion every monday.... yep too lazy | 06:59 |
Cheri703 | when I was in high school (granted, better shape and younger), I went from little tiny rides and then rode 10 miles in an afternoon and was basically fine, was my first "big" ride on a recumbent bike | 07:00 |
Cheri703 | Unit193: you could do it | 07:00 |
Cheri703 | you're young :) | 07:00 |
* Unit193 might get lost... | 07:02 | |
Cheri703 | nah | 07:02 |
canthus13 | try riding this instead... http://www.kevincyr.net/index.php?/project/camper-bike/ | 07:03 |
Cheri703 | yeah, I've seen that :) | 07:03 |
Cheri703 | www.bikesatwork.com has people moving RIDICULOUS things with bikes, even several people who did a house move by bike | 07:04 |
Cheri703 | towing couches, fridges, beds, etc | 07:04 |
canthus13 | Anyway. It's my bedtime. :P | 07:05 |
canthus13 | 'nite. | 07:05 |
Cheri703 | night | 07:05 |
Unit193 | have a good one! | 07:05 |
* Unit193 needs to be somewhere by 8:30-45 | 07:06 | |
Cheri703 | that's not good | 07:06 |
Unit193 | I don't like mornings... | 07:07 |
Cheri703 | nor do I | 07:07 |
Unit193 | I really should slepp | 07:12 |
Unit193 | ^ sleep | 07:12 |
* BiosElement heads to sleep >.> | 07:16 | |
Unit193 | I don't think I like SAS anymore... | 07:40 |
