June 2008 marks the month I started commuting to work on my bicycle. I started with once a week, moved up to twice a week and now regularly bike to work three days in each work week (usually MWF).
My round-trip distance is about 20-22 miles.
As we head into December 2008 I've racked up over 1,000 miles of bicycle commuting.
And folks...
It's been a ton of fun. I look forward to my "bike days". With the traffic here in Stone Oak (in San Antonio) I routinely pass by dozens of cars stuck on Blanco Road on my ride home.
If you own a bike, give some serious thought to commuting. It doesn't have to be to/from work. It could simply be a bicycle ride down to the store, or a quick ride to the local restaurant.
I routinely make stops on my commute. I stop at the drugstore to get misc groceries and I've biked on Sunday mornings with my Dad to local restaurants (usually within a round-trip distance of 8-12 miles).
