Considering garage door electronics are small enough to fit in a rear view mirror, one could cut apart a HomeLink garage door opening mirror (from a junkyard, say); program it and use it.

(can’t help it, my mind seems to be trained to search for “a look from the other side” constantly)…
- more cycling, on the other hand, would mean more inspiration, and also more thinking time, at least in my case.

I have even considered mounting some notepad or something similar on my handlebars – when riding, I usually get the most and the best ideas, but, on a longer ride, as the ideas pile up, it can be difficult to bring them all home. Stopping every odd moment to note something down isn’t a good solution…

Actually, back in my pre-car, juvenile delinquent days, I used to carry a big, heavy wad of keys on a heavy dog collar chain as a weapon that could be carried with impunity in the face of NJ state knife and conceled weapon laws. don’t know what half of them opened; they were just good heavy pieces of metal I had found in various drawers and cupboards at home.

“Douchebags”? Pretty personal name calling for someone who intends no insult, in my opinion. It’s rather a kettle-kettle, black-black remark.

Personally, I don’t think these “douchebags” here on the comments page are so much touting their superiority as pointing out that riding green transpo such as a bike is a bit better for the environment, makes them feel good, and is a viable form of conveyance. If that makes them feel a bit smug and “anti-them-pro-us,” so what? No skin off of any of our noses and certainly no excuse to be “pitiful, petty, and elitist,” in turn as you look down upon them from your lofty moral perch.

probably a winter/summer thing. it takes more time to plot out a story arc than a one-line daily, and in summer there’s much more cycling to be done. You wouldn’t want the author to give up his bike, would you?

I enjoy YM everyday, but I kind of miss the story arcs… Seems like it been heavily on one liners recently. Just a thought…

I have a massive bunch of keys half of which are for various bike locks, the other half for my house. My car key sits on it's own on a seperate key fob.

keys are the only thing you carry in pockets???? Where do you put your book, your digital gadgets, your TOOLS? (leatherman, swiss army knife, firesteel and pocket knife). I mean, there’s just so many useful things to carry around! I have to use a separate bag (call it my purse) because many of the clothes I get at stores just don’t include pockets. Apparently it’s wrong to spoil the line of a woman’s body with something practical like pockets because the shape of our bodies is more important than comfort, preparedness, convenience, or even our health. Curiously enough, the fewer pockets an article has, the more it’s likely to cost.
