In the early mornings, some fellow travellers are more entertaining than others. (This turned out to be a young, blond woman by the way...)
In the distance is coral island where I first opened a restaurant in 1997, just behind the boat is my current 'office' Bon Island. I've been commuting like this for 22 years.

I never stopped admiring these monster trucks - they are not only bigger then most European trucks, but also nicer and cleaner (I think their drivers are often proud of their vehicle - put more lights on them, etc). / Mindig is nagyon tetszettek ezek a hatalmas amerikai teherautók - nemcsak nagyobbak az európaiaknál, de szebbek és tisztábbak is (szerintem a sofőrök kimondottan büszkék járművükre, pl. feldíszítik extra fényforrásokkal, stb.).
I took these shots a July morning during my daily commute - over the previous 2 years I got used to the 60 minutes drive every morning - I listened to the radio, and later audiobooks while driving. The pictures were meant as a memory, since by then we were preparing to move from Ontario.
Egy nyári reggelen készítettem ezeket a képeket, ahogy otthonról elindultam munkába, egész a munkahelyemre érkezésig. Ekkorra az egyórás vezetéshez volt már két évem hozzászokni - előbb rádiót, majd audiobook-ot hallgattam. A megörökítés emléknek kellett - ekkor már készültünk a végül a vártnál később fél év múlva bekövetkezett költözésünkre.
In the winter my cyclocross bike gets overhauled into a tank for commuting. The rack, fenders, and studded tires help it get me to work in terrible weather (cue the snow/ice/sleet/freezing rain).

This was a typical scene outside the south gate at Henan University. It's the morning rush hour as seen on one of my breakfast runs to the food vendors across the street. Sometime in January 1997.

Another shot taken from the train. These days I spend between 2½ to 3½ hours onboard them on a daily basis. This shot was taken about a month ago.

woke sunday morning to 6-7 inches of freshly fallen snow.
pouted and stomped about having to go to work, although our unplowed road was sort of fun.
returned home to screaming winds and the plowed road blown half over again with snow, our driveway blown over, too.
there wasn't a breath of wind all day just 10 miles away in town, a pretty typical weather pattern here.
picked up my neighbor along the highway 5 miles from home. he'd been out for x-country skiing, had gotten further from home than he'd realized, darkness was falling soon. and the temps were dropping.
Lightweight bags by Revelate and gears.
Got a longer and harder commute since the move, so making things a little easier. Most days I get by with just the Tangle feedbag and feedbag on the bar/stem. I added the large seatbag today to bring in the extra clothes/food for the week. I expect to use the seatbag more when commuting with the fixed gear, since it is quick to remove/install as needed.
Not having a backpack is nice, since there are no showers at my new office...yet.
Lots of commuting shots this week. Busy with projects... Maybe something more interesting toward the weekend.
Most American cities grow rapidly into the sub-urban and ex-urban scales. To support this growth, and because of lacking Public Transport, cars and free-ways are the main mean of transportation.
