Quick lunch time blast

KTRIC · 08-07-2009 9:35am #1

Is it just me or is a quick lunch time blast on the auld motorised bicycle very therapeutic ??

I brought my bike with me to work this morning, no real need because I usually get a lift and then walk home. But I'm really stressed at the moment and I find getting away from the office and tearing up the Autobahn is a great way to break up the day.

quiet you.

the m1 doesn't have the same ring to it.

But yes, I agree, a spin on the bike is a great reliever of tensions. I see the difference in work between car commuters and bikers. Bikers wide awake and ready for work - car drivers still half asleep. As to whether bikers actually avail of the wide awakedness for work that is another matter

It is one of those unnoticed things in the work place because car driving and dozing are part and parcel of the majority so it sort of is de facto.

I'm cycling now on occasion and it is the same as on the motorbike.

In my old job, there were more-than-average motorcyclists. Because the place was a pit of misery, no one really had any enthuasism anytime, but there was always a good culture between the motorcyclists. It's a kind of club:)

Nothing like it to cleat the head, out on the road you don't think about forms/stocktakes or whatever, just where you're going.

Amen, so much fun to go for a spin to relax.

Had a nice lunch time spin, parked up the bike in the corner of a pedestrian zone at the front of our building , way away from any fire service access, people walking etc

Got in the lift and the office services manager wreaked my buzz by asking me if I think its a good idea to park there. Fu*king C*unt :mad:

He mentioned the police won't like it. If I come back to a big sticker from the cops he's getting his cage keyed.

I'd answer "yes" and walk off.

It's probably not the most "efficient" place to park

That's exactly what I would have said.

I went back out an moved it, seems parking is not allowed in that zone. F*cking Gerry's are annoying me recently.

I don't go during lunch cos I work in the city. But on the way home taking the scenic route up through the mountains is great.

It is , it would be best if it was Irish, then I wouldn't get a parking ticket.

1 hour and I'm back on that bad boy, topped her up with 98 Ron at lunch and I don't think I'm going home this evening.
