My work location changed almost six months ago and I let excuses pile up to keep me from riding to work. About mid-week I decided to make today a Car-Free Friday and I'm glad I did. 16 miles at about 14 mph average (including time stopped at traffic lights).

The new work location has better shower facilities; best part is they provide towels and you can use the lockers during the day so I don't have to cart wet towels around or carry my stuff up to my desk.
