I started doing that in my early 20's right after college. I still do it to this day. Must be cuz I don't go to bed before midnight.

Speaking of 2 ton trucks, my co-worker said he might take his bike out for a ride tonight. Of course, this means putting the bike rack on his H3 and driving it 5 miles to the park, then riding around on the bike path. I reminded him that it's an H3 and he can just toss it in the trunk w/o taking the wheel off and doesn't need the rack. Then I told him while the 5 mi. trip to the park might be a walk in the park for me, he should definitely drive his bike there and ride it a few nights a week for a couple weeks til his butt gets used to the saddle again and he builds up his legs. Then he can leave the truck at home, save himself $3 in gas and ride to the park.

As for my commute, I picked up my new Soma bullhorns and some bar tape that matches my Brooks. Then I took the long way home just because.
