I resisted... (summary of first week commuting)

I resisted the urge to drive my truck in to work today! Glad I rode.

Today makes 3 consecutive days I've commuted to work via my new Sirrus.
In fact, since I bought my bike last Friday, I drove my truck twice. Once to go to a bike route I wanted to try out down along the Harbor (next time I'm biking to it).
The other time, I drove my truck to the local mini-mart 1/2 a mile away to get some eggs.
I took the truck out of habit, remembered the bike half way there, and felt bad the rest of the night.

So, 3 days of riding my bike to work. 2 short trips in the truck. Not to bad already.

Estimated miles on truck since buying bike: 14
Estimated miles on bike since buying bike: 26
Gas money saved: $8.52 ((26mi / 10mpg) * $3.279gal)

So, it's already been a good week!
