Come, celebrate with me.
For as of today I am a bike commuter.
And, my wife (he's being my human training wheels--he doesn't like to admit it but he frets over me, it's cute) only had to chide me a couple times (for not signaling at all or not well enough--yeah, sometimes I'm bad like that and I know better and I'm working on it).
But I'm a little disappointed. It's only 3.85 miles from my house to work. So my round trip is going to be below my 10 mile mark. So that means I still need to make up mileage on my own time. *scowls* BUT (time to get happy!) the cemetery near my house now allows bikes. So I can make up mileage in the peace and quiet only dead folks can give you.
*snicker* I was walking in the cemetery yesterday (I've been walking part of the way home from work while waiting to get back to the bike) and I crested one of the hills and scared this deer. Cracked me UP. I can't believe it didn't hear me coming (it was a decent hill so I was huffing and puffing a bit and tromping along like frankenstein). I think it was a little embarrassed to have been snuck up on by a fat human (as it should have been).
Now, I need some FOOD!
