Is it riding into a head-wind on the last stretch of your ride?

That's mine. I hear Danny Glover from ~~Die Hard~~ Lethal Weapon in my head every time...

EDIT: Correct movie referenced

edit: read this as 'most' not 'least'. I'll leave my comment tho.

If I need to make multiple stops on an errand run I'll always pick bike over anything else. It's the best.

Otherwise I like how chill it can be while still being a practical mode of transportation.

Noisy brake rotors.

Mud, deep puddles, creek crossings, thick brush, snow.. none of that is an issue for my bike, I can just plow right thru it all. However that means the next 10 minutes is spend pedaling against the brakes trying to heat them up to the point they start gripping again and stop making that awful sound. I'm pretty much at the point that I'm starting to desing enclosures for my rotors to protect them from water and mud.

Cleaning the bike is so annoying. Also I have to carry my bikes to the basement everytime. Which is fine but in the moring when I have to drive to work its a bit annoying to carry it up from the basement. Wish I could keep it outside.
