Today is consecutive work commute number 365. Approaching the 19 month mark since the last time I drove to work.

In order to pull off a streak like this sometimes I have to make somewhat interesting concessions. For example, my son's high school golf team has an out-of-town tournament today. The bus was leaving from a park at 6:30 AM. Coincidentally, that park is about half way to my company's office and I ride through it on my usual commute.

So this morning my son and I loaded up his gear in the car, and I drove him over to the park and got him on the bus. Then I drove back home, and hopped on the bike and rode to work, right through that same park not 100 yards from where the bus was sitting.

Being that I had to drive to the park and then back home, and the park is halfway to work, my net car mileage savings for the morning was zero. However, at noon I'll ride across the city to a client location, then at the end of the day I'll ride home so in the end I'll still be driving less than I would have had I just taken the easy route and drove the car all day.
