This was my first bike commute since I rode my Electra Townie into work on bike-to-work day. Today, I rode a used Lemond Big Sky SL that I picked up for a steal on craig's list (my first road bike ever). I shaved off 20 min. from my commute with the new bike. That is saying a lot since I am out of shape right now. I must say that I love biking to work! I could not believe that a truck actually backed up when he saw that he had crossed over the crosswalk that I was going to use to get to a bike path.
I plan on finishing the week off on my bike, and then . . . the sky is the limit.
I find it ironic that I am starting to commute by bike during the same week that my hometown is celebrating Hot August Nights, a week-long classic car show and street party. Here is to celebrating bikes rather than cars.
