Another bike/bus morning

Rode the bike/bus route home last night, much better than riding all the way. This will probably be my last week of commuting without a car for a while. I might do it once a week or so. I think if...

2nd day of bike/bus commuting

Don't think I'll be riding the whole way home again tonight. I was drenched from head to toe in sweat last night. The trip to work is enjoyable. 1 mile to the bus stop, read a book for the rest of...

Craigslist find, or keep looking?

I've started to look for a replacement for my ~1994 Huffy Mt. Storm (don't laugh, it was free, and it's held up just fine). Saw this on Craigslist:

Well, I did it. I finally rode to work. 7 miles in a tad over 35 minutes. I didn't see a single bike until I got close to downtown. All the cars were courteous (no honks, yells, etc.) and drove...
