converted a co-worker
 

This is late, but I still feel good about it...:D
after riding all spring and losing weight and being more productive at work, one of my co-workers started asking about riding to work as well. thing is, he lives 90 miles away... so one day he gives it a shot with a bike-train-bike method. his first attempt took a long time, but he decided to stick with it and bought a one month pass for the train! so far, he says he's saved $250 per month on fuel and has cut his ride time in half, and lost some weight to boot!!! two weeks ago he even bought a new commuter specific bike...


Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside

now the sad part...its summer, and when the temp is over 90, I cant ride (medical), so I have only ridden to work a few days this month and am totally jealous whenever I see his bike on the other side of the office...

That is totally awesome!!! I love stories like that. I love seeing people who may not have ever thought about it become inspired by another rider and get into bike riding. :)

I hope I inspire somebody like that one day. :)

I tried to get a few others to bike commute as well, but they all said it was too far, no bike, bla bla...I even offered one younger guy my secondary ride for a while, but he said he wouldnt be able to make it to his workout classes if he rode the bike...

Its especially sad since we are allowed to keep the bikes in our offices :D

oah well, there's only so many...;)
