B/i/k/e/ Bus to Work Day
I punked out because of the rain--if it had been raining just a little bit less, or not raining but only threatening and wet, I was totally prepared to ride, trusting to my sweet fenders to keep the muck off, and taking advantage of the free MATA rides for cyclists all day today. But it was raining just a little too hard, and I've never ridden in rain before and don't have any rain gear--nor have I taken the time to scotch-guard my canvas messenger bag/pannier bag. So whisperflight drove me to the bus stop, instead.
I kind of feel like a failure, not riding to work on bike to work day. Except this whole week is actually Bike to Work Week (May is National Bicycle Month), and I rode in and back home both Monday and Wednesday, which is better than I've managed in a while, and way better than the average. So I'd feel like a failure, but I'm too busy feeling awesome, since we've also managed to get up earlier every day this week and have even done yoga 4 days out of 5 so far. Plus, I have bigger things to stress about than beating myself over the head with unreasonable expectations.
The one nice thing about all the crap life has been handing out at our house this year: it puts everything into perspective most wonderfully.
