commute by bike

I want to spend the next year (starting from Sept) commuting by bike for 75% of the year.

wow, i have been doing great on this one. I must be getting close to 85%.

I was averaging about 50% bike/ 25% bus/ 25% car for weeks, but last week I hit 60% bike/ 40% car. And 20% was carpool with a co-worker!

The goal is to bike commute to work at least 60%.

I rode into work again today and got a flat when I had a mile left to go! It’s discouraging. I had to walk my bike the rest of the way while wearing my stupid helmet and my stupid bookbag.

I rode into work on Wednesday. It was a really nice ride in the morning. The way home was a little crowded, but it wasn’t nearly as bad as I was expecting. I can definitely see myself riding to work on a regular basis.

I purchased a road bike this week. All I need now is to suck it up and ride that bitch to work.

It would be so nice to not have to put gas in my car. I live close enough to work to do it!

I’ve been working in Blahview for two weeks now and I’ve ridden my bike every day. I have no doubt that I’ll be able to keep riding through the summer. The hard part will be next winter when the weather gets bad.

I bought a bike on Sunday. My first bike sine 1987.

Now I bike to work everyday (about 3 miles) and before the summers done I should be able to get anywhere in Chicago via bike. Sometimes I may wuss out and hop on a bus during rain and snow but for the most part I am giving up my Motor City roots and becomming more active…
