What job do you commute to?

linsen

After having seen so many posts from people, and realising the one thing in common we all have is that we cycle to work, I am fascinated by what you all do for a living....

I'll start...

I am a secondary school teacher (languages). The street cred I lose for parading through school at the start of the day in my kit and looking a bit hot and sweaty is (I think at least) made up for by the fact it is quite a long way, and I have a very nice bike. Or they are all laughing at me behind me back. Frankly I don't care anymore.

I'm a lawyer :oops:

LOL is that the line you use on the ladies?

I wash dishes for a (very meagre) living.. glamourous I know.

I'm a yachting photographer

But I only commute into the office by bike. Cycling round the world with lots of cameras and waterproof clothing really isn't an option

I have a very nice picture of a Beneteau 375 under spinnaker on my wall at home, another of Bellavitsa. The former was taken by Beken. There are few others floating round too - one of Yeoman series, and a few others from Cowes Week.

I do 3D modelling and associated graphically orientated nonsense for Passion Pictures. Had a hand in a lot of that stuff on the website, particularly the Rock Band and Guitar Hero ads.

Consider meself rather fortunate in the grand scheme of things.

Would that be a First 375 btw?

What sort of science?

For example, can you tell me how long it takes before a wind turbine overcomes the carbon footprint of making it?

Or is it more "I don't think its wise to splice pig genes into maize" advice?

Can you get panniers for coffins now then? Or do you tow then behind on a trailer??

I was wondering this because so many of you post during the day I imagined that you were mostly men and ladies of leisure - although how you would commute in that case...

If its a bad driver he just ties a rope around their feet and drags it in.

Yeah, I shouldn't. I had a cold this week and had a couple of days off, then was on a roll!

~I just get this urge to either be controversial, obnoxious or helpful and see who gets back to me. Its addictive. Bad cycling.

Fantastic shot.

Yes. Rainbow Dreamer c.1986 I think. My father was on it and he's flying the kite. The year before, he was on the Velsheda, in the Fastnet, the same year Drum went over. Very hairy. It was blowing a nine and the main got stuck, so they turned back.
