Trac is Back - Starting Commuting Again
Well, it's been probably a year since I've posted at BikeForums. I used to post in the Clydesdales forum, but then I stopped cycling and went to walking as my primary exercise. With walking and proper diet, I reached my goal weight.
However, once you're a cyclist, and you're "in it" deep enough that it's a lifestyle, it never leaves you alone. Every time I would see a cyclist, especially a commuter or someone that looks like they're "car free", I would feel the draw. It took a while to sink in, but the facts are I'm a bicyclist at heart and have always loved commuting and otherwise using my two wheels as my primary transportation.
My family moved to the middle of town only 7 miles from my job, so I have decided to go back to cycling for primary transportation. Four days back on the bike proves that I have some conditioning to attain lol, but it feels sooooo good to be back on the machine.
So, back in the saddle again!!

I'd been wondering where you've been lately. Good to hear you're back in the saddle.
And you're right - once you're in, you're in.
