As April ends, I finally made it an entire month without commuting to work by car. Since May is Bike to Work Month, I should make it two in a row. Making maximum use of the my monthly rail pass is nice on the $$ too.

Good for you! Goals are good things....
That's great. Congrats! Good for you. My goal for May is to commute everyday, but we'll see how it goesOriginally Posted by CommuteCommando
Clap clap clap clap! That's awesome! I try hard, but I just can't seem to ride every day. Something comes up, I have an early meeting, I'm oncall or I'm running late and wham there I am in the car. I'm hoping with the rain behind us, my commute day percentage will increase.

thats awesome. I just did, last week, my first 5 days of commuting to work in a row for the entire work week. I should try doing it for the whole month like you did. A new challenge..... ahhhhhhhhhh!But I travel a lot for work so I am not sure that will be able to happen
Yeah, good for you! Do you have some sort of combined bike/rail commute?
March was my first all-bike-commute month and I almost did it again in April, but wussed out on a couple of wet days right at the end of the month. But May is off to a good start.
Congratulations to the OP.
Warning first you go one month, then another, then another, the next thing you know, you are a year round commuter.

This is usually my biggest excuse. This morning was a real heavy "Marine Layer" (aka light misting rain). But is was "damn the torpedoes-full speed ahead". Rainy season is pretty much over, but expect more of this seasonal "Wet Morning Fog" in the coming months. Tomorrow I'm bringing dry socks.
I commute by rail-65 miles door to cube. I admit that I drive the eight, mildly hilly, miles to the train station at "0-dark thirty". As the weather warms up I hope to start riding to the station as well. The difference is getting up at 4:00 AM as opposed to 4:20.
Load up on "Chef bars". (wink wink, nudge nudge)But I travel a lot for work so I am not sure that will be able to happen

Nice job...I think I am going to use this as a motivation to do the same in May. I will return and report
UGH! I have not gotten up that early since the military. What time do you go to bed?I commute by rail-65 miles door to cube.

At this point I feel guilty if I use my car to get to work. I usually brave any weather now since I am in such a better mood at work when I ride.
Day one down. Wet in the morning, dry in the afternoon. More of the same expected tomorrow. This time I'm packing dry socks.
