Sunflowers aren't just for France![]() I didn't used to commute to work by bike that much; generally I'd be driving, because it was more convenient for stopping to get food and/or coffee on the way to work, or going to the bank. But it's not. Not sure why I ever thought that! Nor does it take much longer than in a car, and maybe even less when you consider not having to find a parking space and feed the meter. Even the ride home, having to climb 400ft up Jefferson, takes just 5 minutes longer by bike than by car. Not that I'd time it or post each ride on Strava, nothing like that! The only downside is needing to take a shower before dinner, but even that's not too big a deal since I'd otherwise be taking one before going to bed anyway. Will I ride when it gets dark on the way home? Most likely yes. Will I ride in the rain? Most likely no. Thankfully not something it does very often 'round these parts! The Tuesday/Thursday-morning ride goes on, rain or shine, just for the challenge of doing it. But that has the benefit of a shower at the end, and clean dry clothes. So yes, I'll wimp out. But for now, it's time to ride. Everywhere I can. |
