Nice ride in this morning, temps were in the low 70's, but had low energy (didn't eat enough yesterday). However, I'm more excited about how things worked out on yesterday's ride home. Our son started daycare which prompted a slight change in my commute, one that's very dependant on timing and coordination. My wife drops him off in the morning, then returns to park the car near the metro. She then takes the metro to work and calls to tell me where the car is. I continue the moring part of my commute unchanged, however, ride directly to the car in the afternoons, not home. I put the bike on the rack, change (throw shorts over top of my riding shorts, shirt, shoes) and jump in the car for the 20 minute drive to the sitter. I pick him up, return home, throw my bike in the back yard, and take care of our son until my wife gets home roughly an hour later. Then, I can go cover the bike, top off tire pressure, charge battery, regular maintenance etc. I was excited that it worked so well on our first attempt, without a "dry run" even. The only improvements to make are: 1) leave gatorade, water, or other recovery drink in car, and 2) find a better way of securing front tire while bike is on the rack (I got a bunch of velcro strips from work and cut them into usable lengths). It looks like this will be a sustainable system where I can continue my daily commuting. Anyone else doing something similar? Recommendations for improvement???
