just like riding a bicycle
Well its bike to work month, I thought i'd take this moment to remind you all about your impact on this world and just how much good you can do. It really only takes a little to go a long way... I for one am batting 1000 this month, 1 for 1 biking to work. But this is where it ends, I need you all to do your part because I dont think I have that much biking left in me, my little 5.5mile/way ride through downtown beats me up, I get to work sweaty and feeling like I'm going to vomit. Coming home is no different, maybe better because of the afternoon-tune-up i had at work on my10speed '78? Raleigh Grand Prix (dad please confirm the year of this bike) . Racing busses, other bikers, cars and of course the clock to get to work make it fairly stressful. I have committed to my work group biking 5 days this month, this is no small feat for myself. And so I ask you all to bike to and from work so that I dont have to, I cant keep up this pace of 100%, it will be dropping to 50% tomorrow as I plan on driving.

Sorry buddy, I'm not biking 25 miles to work.
Me neither. Plus, I'm pretty sure I'd die due to the crazy drivers, smog factor, gangbangers, or a vicious and unlucky combination of all three.
I promise to bike to the bars at least 8 days though.
Well, us here in So Cal are all about our cars... but since you asked so nicely, I agree with Brian and will do my part and buy a beach cruiser to use as my mode of transportation to the bars. Just for you! ;)
Your Sister
I have a flat, 5 minute bike ride to work. Maybe 7 if the train comes through town. I also pledge to bike to the bars, the breweries and as many parks as possible. I love Fort Collins.
It is sometimes hard to get by the gangbangers though.
The bike was bought in 1973.
I've used it's partner in the same way... the more I rode, the less vomitous I felt....
