Took daughter to the doc Thursday and did not get home in time to commute. Even though I don’t like to commute on Friday (A lot of idiots and drunks on the road when I get off work 2nd shift), I tried the new paved bike path. It got me off the road for the worst part of my commute home. Now that I made my first commute I will ride 3 to 4 times a week.

I love biking to work. I began biking to my job in my teens, when I babysat. It’s something I’ve done on and off for a lot of years. Just makes a lot of sense. When I bike to work, I save money (gas, mainitenance). When I bike to work, I arrive in a good mood, because of the exercise and the fun of riding. I’m able to avoid the main roads for most of my commute, so it truly is a pleasant ride. And I always take a longer route home, to increase my mileage. Some of the most enjoyable trips were my nighttime rides home when I worked a 2nd shift years ago. The main hazard then was a great number of skunks!
(Yes, I wore reflective clothing & used lights!)

I was planning to start this week, but things are not working out. I work second shift and only have a short time to spend with my wife. I will most likely go Thursday.

Biking to work is also fun, you actually meet people (instead of being sealed up in your car cursing at them) and it’s fun. Did I say fun twice I like fun.

I’d love to commute this week, but the weather has been so bad these last two days, it’s nearly impossible to ride.

I will start soon, though.
