“Biking is an extremely important part of my training routine, and I like to invest in what I know.”

Another favorite baller: Spurs forward Matt Bonner, who became a fan favorite with the Toronto Raptors when he started riding Toronto’s streetcar system to games. Somehow, though, I doubt he’s taking VIA to the AT&T center.

1. Obtain sufficient snow to cover your street to a depth of 8 – 10 inches.
2. Resist the temptation to plow your newly snow-covered street.
3. Get your friends to drive back and forth on your street for a few days. If you don’t have any friends, simply leave your street somewhere in a large city. If one of your friends shows up with a snowplow, he is not your friend.
4. During this time find a source of bright, warm light and shine it on your street — but for no more than a few hours a day. Keep a sharp lookout for snowplows — those fuckers could be anywhere.
5. Apply a light dusting of salt. This is a critical moment, so be sure to keep the area free of snowplows. IEDs at either end of your street should do the trick.
6. 6 hours after applying salt, reduce temperature to 10 degrees Fahrenheit and hold overnight.

Congratulations! Your street is now bike-proof. This is especially important to do if your street connects to a popular bikeway.
