Do you have any memorable stories about the different ways coworkers have reacted to your bike commute? Can you remember times when the office and the bike got along great–and when they didn’t?
If you have any ideas, please write me with your email address.
A national news reporter is looking for people to talk with for a story and may want to reach you.
Thanks.

The during worst snow storm we had hear last winter, a co-worker, called in, even though she only lived 4 miles away, so my boss called me in, so I hoped on my 29er, and rode 8 miles to my job to relieve my boss.
about a mile away from work I stopped for food, my boss called, I told her that I was right around the corner, at that point I could practically hear her jaw hit the floor.
We had several days of +6 inches of snow. A coworker always bowed down to me like I was almighty on those days.
I’m a teacher. I consider my students to be my coworkers. They’re always making fun of my car-free commute, but when I’m feeling under the weather they make fun of me for driving! That’s okay, though. They’re teenagers, after all. That’s how they navigate social situations.
But one on one, they ask me all kinds of questions about how difficult or how easy the commute is, how I deal with the idiot drivers and other idiot cyclists, how I deal with certain weather conditions…I may have done more good with my commute choice than with all my teaching!
