My son broke his ankle, so I'm dropping him at school in the car now. No riding for me for at least 2 or 3 weeks. This will be the longest I'll have been off the bike at once since going essentially full time in 2005.
Yes, normally he rides the bus, and it's still not out of the question, but his route to school involves transferring busses, and the transfer point is mayhem of 500+ students swapping around between a couple dozen busses in a parking lot, all carrying backpacks, and crutches on ice isn't great either.
