having some problem w/ distance, used to be 3.2 miles each way for 6 years now is 12 miles eachway. not too much to some, i assume, but a conflict to overcome myself. it seemed to become easier as the week went on, but the past 2 days were car driven (1993 honda cx). i felt COMFORTABLE getting home in 15 minutes by car (50 mins by bike).
missed my 2 hours of work-out (2), but was truly so much easier to be a CAGER !
i did use about 1/16 tank of gasoline (40 miles or so).
-both sides of the fence...
with the 20lbs i've lost this year and c/v health i assume gained, there is a "no-brainer" to why not bicycle commute. i have not seen any other commuter on my route = 1 crazy biker/2000 "Normal" car/track drivers. i felt deflating.....a "misfit"!
just trying to spin side to side with anarchy!

ps: will try 4/5 day bicycle commutes next week, see what unfolds!
