Thanks to the encouragement and spirit of the people in this forum, I致e decided to start cycle commuting. I知 so excited! The first day of Bike-To-Work week will be my first day of commuting. I can稚 cycle the entire 33 miles because a freeway blocks the middle of the route. I値l cycle 13 miles and take a bus for the next 20.

A restaurant near the bus stop has gaven me permission to park my car in their lot all week. I値l drive there on Monday (with the bike in the car), use the car as a bike locker and changing room, then drive the car home on Friday. This way I値l get to cycle commute the 13 miles to the bus stop and back, 4 out of 5 days. I値l decrease the car mileage by 300 miles a week and increase my cycle miles over 100 miles per week.

Everything痴 all set, I even have a clothes line strung in the car for airing my cycle clothes while I知 at work. I知 pretty sure I can do the entire week right away, but we値l see. I値l report back here to let you all know.
