Whew, I dusted off my touring/commuting bike and rode it to work today. The drive normally takes about 20 minutes with commuter traffic, but on-bike the route takes about 30 minutes. Man, was I winded when I rolled into Innovation Park, but that'll get better over time - I hope. Half of the ride is beautiful. I ride through some really beautiful neighborhoods. Once I start heading up towards campus, it's more of a traffic commute. I even hit part of a highway right before I take the exit ramp to Innovation Park.
Our car gets fantastic gas mileage, but why use it if I don't need to? I hope to keep it up once we move out to our new home at McKivison, but we'll when the time comes.

Keep riding...it'll get better. Today, May 15th was the first day in May that I didn't ride to work, because it rained...commuting is the way to go!
Hey yeah! I've been commuting now for about 4 years, granted I'm only a 20 minute ride from my office, but it's definitely the thing to do.
