My first goal was to learn how to ride a bike. I'd kinda sorta wanted to learn but wasn't really serious until my brother-in-law's failed attempt to teach me. That goal was finally accomplished on May 10, 2015, which was the second time I took a "how to ride for adults" class.

My next goal was to start commuting to work by bicycle. This was accomplished in June, 2015.

Next goal after that was continue commuting without death or injury. I failed in that I fell a couple of times due to bad turns and my foot slipping off a pedal, thus sustaining some bruises. But I didn't die so that overall goal was met.

For next year I want to get better at changing to the left lane for left turns. Most of the time I either got lucky and was allowed by a motorist in the next lane over to cut in front. I need to get better at getting into more advantageous positioning.

I'd also like to do a century ride and also the ride to Purcelville (seems to be a rite of passage for cyclists here) but that's kinda OT because it's not commuting.
