>>>>This isn't a cry for help<<<<

Sorry...I'm guilty of throwing that idea out there. Some days I just get on these forums and I'm in a pissy mood. Other days, I just want to lecture people like I know everything. We're all human.

I'm on a "just get on the bike and ride" kick for the last few years and it just sort of irks me when people analyze the actual ride. That's the easy part. Yeah, you should ride to work regardless of whether it's 2 miles or twenty miles. If you have to ask yourself that question, that says to me that you're either lazy and looking for an excuse not to ride, or you are (as I suggested earlier) in a funk that even getting on a bike can't get you out of. I'm glad to hear that you're not as depressed as your original post sounded!

Sorry if I offended you. Now get your butt out the door and onto the saddle tomorrow morning!
