Day #1 of bike commuting was a success! I experienced a bunch of things on the way to
work that I wouldn’t have in a car:
- A cool breeze on my face
- Exchanging “good mornings” with 2 dog walkers, a utility worker, and a homeless guy
- Meeting the electricians that were working at the office
- Burning a few calories
Plus, I was really awake & in a great mood when I got to
my desk. (I can hear the “I-told-you-sos
already…)
Half of my route is through
residential streets, and half of it is along busy streets in a commercial area. I have ridden with traffic before, but I’m
not yet comfortable enough to do it during rush hour on those streets. Besides, I have a feeling my slow butt would
seriously impede traffic!
The ride home was a little bit more stressful. I actually yelled “LOOK AT ME!” to an oblivious
driver on a cell phone. Both the
forecast and my schedule have worked out perfectly for this week – so I’m
hoping for another successful ride tomorrow.
