It is finally summer. You can find me outside.
I biked to work for the first time this year. The trip is 16 miles each way and a gorgeous ride.
I left my house at 7 a.m., which is way too late. By the time I got to the burbs I had to share the road with those almost-late people speeding to work. It was terrifying.
In fact, the speed-commuters were so terrify that I stopped at Freewheel bike on the way home and became a helmet owner. About time, right?

June 30, 2011 at 4:47 pmNice! Love to hear about someone starting down the bike commute path. 16 miles is a pretty long bike commute too. I have a slightly longer commute and found it too long to do every day all by bike. I didnt want to give up the exercise and great ride I got so I actually drive part way, keep a folding bikein my trunk and ride the last 8 miles.
