The first week of commutin
Today I finished my first week of commuting and it was great. It's just under six miles each way and I've started to take the long way home. The drive by car takes fifteen minutes. On my bike I was doing my commute in twenty six minutes. I'm so enthused that an extra eleven minutes every morning helping me save money and get into shape.

That's great! When you get better in shape, you'll probably be only 5 minutes slower by bike: the amount of time it takes to walk in from the parking lot if you drive. Then 10 minutes in the bathroom, which, face it, you'll take anyway, driving or not.
Keep it up!
Keep it up!
