Bicycle commuting
I biked to work today!
This is basically the route I took except instead of taking the 57 Bus and doing the walking parts, I biked—I did take the light rail (none of that will make any sense unless you follow that link). All in all it took me 1 hour and 55 minutes to get to Dan's house. Driving takes about 45 minutes if there is no traffic and up to 3 hours if there is. According to Google (you can see it on the map I linked to) I saved 16$ by not driving. And that isn't taking into account that I had to come back the same way I went!
To be honest with you, it was was a bit of a pain. There wasn't room for me to hang my bike up on the light rail so I had to hold it the whole time. When I started biking I was cold so I put on another layer. I have a sore throat so the heavy breathing was hard on it. There was construction on my route so I didn't get my own bike lane.
And I loved it!
I'm doing it again tomorrow. But I am going to bring my bike lock so I can lock my bike up downtown so I can stop by the Apple store on the way home and pick up a couple things for my new computer! Which should be arriving Friday or Monday.
Woo! Life is good!

bike rides are excellent. the ride to school in the morning gives me that "gee, i'm feeling healthy and active" feeling, which starts my day out right.
