Once again I tried to catch the bus on the edge of my neighborhood and ride the bus with my bike. I was planning on shaving about 4 miles off my trip. Just as I approached, the bus was leaving. It disappeared down the road.

I settled in for a regular commute. I was 15 minutes ahead of schedule, so it would be a somewhat relaxed ride. I didn't have to push myself.

As I was just about to reach the place where the bus would have dropped me, the bus that got away from me passed me. Not sure if this was possible, I looked at my clock: 6:57 am.--the bus was right on schedule. We were vitually neck-and-neck.

This has happened enough that I am sure it is normal.

Bicycling has, once again, proven to be one of the most practical, fast and efficient means of travelling.

Now if I can only get faster than my car, all is perfect :D (It doesn't help my cause that when I do drive, I drive with a lead foot)
