Pleased to report that my wife commuted by bike today for the first time (ever! Proud of you honey!!). We drove to my workplace with our bikes on the back of our Jeep, took hers off and she rode 2km along a quiet MUP to her workplace (I followed to make sure she didn't run into any problems, I then rode back to mine afterwards) and then she'll ride back to my workplace at the end of the day and wait for me to finish about 15 minutes after she gets to the Jeep. We plan to do it this way for the next couple of weeks and then we'll switch to a 5km route that we can both ride from home to work (5km for her, 8km for me unless I go for a longer ride after "dropping her off" at her workplace). And then we'll work up to the 6km route which is actually the easiest for both of us, my distance will be 9km.
Her journey to fitness and weight loss has begun, luv ya hon!!
