Adam Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Can you believe it was 65 degrees when I hopped on the bike at 8:30AM here in Colorado? Early March, our snowiest month? Man, what a wonderful feeling to ride a 1964 Schwinn King Size American with a 2-speed Bendix 'Kick Back' hub this morning. I've been a sloth all winter, void of just about any form of exercise....it's about time! Mario was out front and snapped a cell phone pic: WhooHooooo!!!!!

dipolley Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I think I may have to go for a little top down drive today. Where should I go? hmmm... car wash perhaps. (water only) Saturday should be great too. 58 and sunny for the Purifoy clinic. Mook, thanks for the buzz kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug123 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Now that's how you commute - plus you're riding in style. What do you like for your bike - Americana, Buttery, Quick sealant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matts88yj Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Adam I'm VERY jealous! First off that you live so close to work, second off that because your outside temperature this morning was warmer than my inside office. This will be a full week without heat in the office. I used to work in a shop at a dealership and in a warehouse before this office job and even our warehouse is warmer than our office space! It was 52 inside this morning!!! I'm going to say you probably have less than a 10 mile commute to work. I'm working on 53 miles one way. I can't wait to move closer!!! Hopefully this year!

THE Mook Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Matt you should call OSHA. David, I have a feeling there won't be too many more 38* days between now and October either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDude Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 This will be a full week without heat in the office. I used to work in a shop at a dealership and in a warehouse before this office job and even our warehouse is warmer than our office space! It was 52 inside this morning!!! What was the outside temperature? I take it that the furnace/boiler is out of order (waiting on a part). I'm going to say you probably have less than a 10 mile commute to work. I'm working on 53 miles one way. I can't wait to move closer!!! Hopefully this year! Well I was going 58 miles one way on my prior job (new location the old location was 34 one way).

matts88yj Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Matt you should call OSHA. If I did that I'm sure my employer would tell me that if I didn't like it I should just quit. What was the outside temperature? I take it that the furnace/boiler is out of order (waiting on a part). Well I was going 58 miles one way on my prior job (new location the old location was 34 one way). Outside temp was in the high 30's. You're right we are waiting on a part that is on backorder. The bad thing is they don't know when it is going to be available! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE Mook Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 If I did that I'm sure my employer would tell me that if I didn't like it I should just quit. Or make an anonymous call to the labor board. There are rules in place so that you aren't supposed to work in conditions that mirror the Chinese. It's your right as an employee. Mook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 The Schwinn bikes typically get a clay, Swirl & Haze Remover, and Revive Polish when they end up at our shop, and you can't believe how well that old Chicago paint holds up, nearly 50 years later! The chrome get's hit with #0000 steel wool, doused in 50% Metal Polish #1, and 50% Metal Polish #2. Comes up like new dimes! This has been an interesting winter, to say the least. Three storms, each have dumped 3' of snow, and now, riding a bike to work. They say if you don't like the weather here, wait for 20 minutes, and it will change. 'They' are correct!

Chewy Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 72º for a high here yesterday, and the day before I was shoveling the walk at work and it was 15º and my fingers were freezing. WTH? In IA they say wait 5 minutes... Amazing... Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
