I used to ride to work about 80% of the time between 2002 - 2005. Loved it. Now I work at home, but may go for a ride this Friday in the morning to share the love. Should be fun.
I love bike to work day. Too bad I am not going to do it this year, the first in the last 6. My office moved and we don’t have shower facilities at the new location.
Riding to work was great since I got to do what I wanted to do for an hour each way vs. sitting in traffic for 45-70 minutes each way every day. Not to mention the fresh air, sunshine, and sights along the trails. It was about break even on the gas vs increase in groceries that I had to eat.
