Exciting. I should get a trailer. I need to take a weed eater and a shovel to work today. Hard to get on my commuter!

That flip side of learning to really not want to drive isn't mentioned much but is very real. I use about 3/4 tank of gas a month. Unless I take a trip somewhere. Most of that I could avoid if I had more capacity on my bike.

The other weird thing I see happening to people is taking their bicycle when they have to drive - try to get a few miles in. I used to do that on consulting jobs. Find a motel with adjacent country roads. Even in cities I could find somewhere to do intervals.

Have fun.
