My New Goal

[bertine]

Yesterday I decided to ride my bike every day for 30 days. Today was day two, I went to the grocery store and bought bagels and cat treats. It was exciting. Tomorrow I might ride to dairy queen since I am not very good at just riding for the fun of it, I need a purpose.

How long is your commute? Sometimes I think I am just a wimp when it comes to my commute.

It's about 9 miles one-way. I don't usually bike the whole way, though. I've done the whole thing both ways once or twice, but with the 50 hour weeks, I haven't had the energy. I usually do a combination of busing and biking. Still much cheaper than driving these days, but it takes a little more time and planning.

It is funny, I did the math and it is still cheaper for me to drive than take the bus since my company doesn't have a bus pass program and my car gets really good gas miliage.

I would love a bus/bike option. That would be nice. Hmm... Maybe if I looked at the buses not to get out here but to get me closer.

Yeah, I think it works much better than way, to do a bus / bike commute. The bus is cool and all, but it's very limited to have to stick to stuff close to the routes. It's nice to have a few miles ley-way (sp) on each side.

I figure that it only costs $4 round trip for me to take the bus to work. And I'm pretty sure that it would cost at least a gallon of gas, not to mention all the wear and tear on the car.

It kindof depends on what your commute is.
