Biking it
Thanks to TJ, I have a bicycle again, so today I did something I'd been thinking about for a while: I rode a bike to work. It took me 27 minutes to get here, while it usually takes me 10 minutes in a car. Not a huge time difference, I can live with that. Thankfully, it's pretty much a straight shot from home to work, and a bike path 90% of the way. A couple of observations from the ride:
1. I'm really out of shape!
2. I need a more comfortable seat
3. I'm really out of shape!
4. I'm going to need something to cover my head
5. I should save up eventually for a better bike - this one only has 7 gears, I could use a 12 speed
I'd like to say it's for the environment, and I want to live green and save on gas... but really it's for the exercise. That is to say, I need more of it, and this is a good, healthy and practical way to do it. I'm sure that after a couple of trips I'm going to get stronger legs and cut my time down.
