I don't ride everyday because I am lazy and in some cases I need my car for work during the day. Today was one of those days so I was planning on driving to work even though i would have rather ridden a bike since I was at a conference this week and didn't get any exercise. Anyway I went out to my car and the battery was totally dead. I texted my boss I was going to be late and jumped on a bike. I was able to borrow my wife's car for driving for work. Thats twice I have ridden my bike to work in the last 2 years when my car wouldn't start. Its nice to have a backup form of transportation. The bus takes forever here in Lincoln. I might be able to walk to work faster.
