today i biked to work. never done it before and now probably never gonna stop.
one of the best things about riding a bike is that you're out in the open. the windows are always down and you can easily roll through 'optional' stop signs at your discretion.

sidewalk, road, sidewalk, bike lane, someones driveway, jump a curb, park trials, road.
wherever you wish, you can go. i'm in a state of liberation when i'm moving on a bike. not only will i be starting my day with exercise and a daily dose of sunshine but i will save some money on gas and even more thrilling, opportunities to explore new places my car won't take me. and there are countless ways to get to work. today i took the "don't really pay attention to street names and just head in the general southeast direction to work" and this panned out great. i passed an inviting little park that i will have to stop and spend some time in soon. i'm sure next time i ride to work the course will be different and hopefully lead me to something alluring.

i hope to bike to work as much as possible since the weather is so accommodating and blissful this time of year. everyday is not realistic since there will have to be days for appointments, days of rain, days of meeting friends for lunch and of course days of friday happy hours with no desire to obtain a BUI. until i learn to fix a flat i will be commuting on my hybrid but really relish the day when i can get my 1975 trek rolling smooth. just a few tune ups and maybe even a fresh paint job should do the trick.

oh my gosh you are so cute. you bike to work! hsha. i love you. i always thought it would be cool to bike in nyc... but when you combine the number of pedestrians, crazy cab drivers, and my unfortunate natural ability to be clumsy... it doesnt sound like such a good idea after all
