I've been cycling long enough to know I should really ride to work. I don't have any real excuses. I live close to the office (under 6 miles), I can ride on surface streets to get from point A to B, I own a bunch of bikes that are suitable for communiting (my cross bike is my current favorite), we have showers at the office and I hate spending $3.75 gallon for gasoline.
My only excuse (or the one I've been using lately) is that I didn't have a bag gthat could hold all of my stuff. My laptop is one of those widesreen jobs and once I put all of my clothes, shoes, etc in there things don't really work. Well, my wife took away my last excuse last night be presenting me with this for my birthday.
So, this morning we both hopped on our bikes and road to work. All in all it took about two more minutes than driving, we chatted away riding two up on Norris and we both felt pretty good about it when we arrived at the office. So the new goal is (weather permitting) to ride to work at least three days a week.
I hope it lasts.
