Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

You know this means you ARE doing inset doors now, right?

I parked at one of those in front of Kohls not long ago when making an Amazon return. I was in the store about 15 minutes, and when I got out I got 2 free miles of charge!

More work for her since someone has to pay for it.

All of my wife's great ideas require me to either work more to generate more income or expend more labor to accomplish her goal.

I first saw one of those stations you are talking about in a shopping center that has a large grocery store in Brattleboro, VT. That was probably 2015. Guess it would be handy to use while shopping.

I have also seen the one at the Stewart's in Clinton Corners on the Salt Point Turnpike. Is that up your way?
Yes, I know of that Stewart's, I get eggs from a buddy in Salt Point.

The supermarket factor helps make more sense of the charging station I speak of, there's a TOPS market in that shopping center where folks can charge while shopping.

that was me.
I was bow tie until 2015 but as the abused partner I finally got up the courage and left the marriage. I'm now now a Honda guy, for now. They have to earn my loyalty from now on.

Good ride. We only had 4 hardy souls, start temp was low 20’s but warmed up gradually to around freezing by the end. To avoid ice, we did ride on slightly busier roads, we only got buzzed once by a big MF dump truck. Other than that scare, ride was 100% fun.

Glad you brought that up. Let’s say an asymptomatic guy coughs into his hand and then grabs some barbells and works out. Then I come behind him and use the same barbells, and unconsciously touch my nose or my mouth, let’s say to wipe some sweat away. Is there no chance the virus could spread that way, especially omicron?

I am aware it is primarily an airborne transmitter, but is it 100% or does touching surfaces contribute maybe 10%?

One of my favorite stretches up that way is Shun Pike between U.S. 44 and NY 82. And there use to be a bunch of alpacas on a farm at Netherwood and Salt Point Turnpike, but they were not there the last time I rode that way.

I don't think anyone knows, but the primary route of spread, as you know, is by droplets in the air. There are some pure GI presentations. Maybe they're acquired by mouth. Good question for @datlas.

Yeah, it's no more work or cost for her - materials are the same, it's just the pain in my ass to be more persnickety with sizing and fitting the doors. They do look better, though.
