I've just started commuting to work today. It's about 10 miles round trip. I thought it was great! Okay, a little tiring up the hills, but that's okay, I'll eventually get up those hills someday. :-)
I'm considering commuting to work three times a week, initially, since I'm kind of breaking myself in to it. I haven't been on a bike for at least 10 years!
Okay, so some people at work seem to think I'm weird anyway at work anyway, since I do things *different*. Hey, it doesn't matter.
However, there are others at work that think that riding in to work is great! I wish there were more people riding to work. I think I'm the only one out of 600 employees commuting by bike. I've never seen anyone else bike to work. We only have two bike parking spaces in the front, but I parked my bike in the back today--just keeping it safe. :-)
The weather's been great in California, so it makes it easy to get out there and ride! :-)
