Monique and I decided to begin riding our bikes to work from now on; weather permitting. With gas prices near our house rising well above $3, it seems that we should save some cash and some ozone. This morning I ate a nice bowl of Fiber One cereal, loaded up the bike, put the kids in the crate and left at a quarter to 9am. I arrived at work around 9:20am. Sweaty as hell, I was able to clean up before 9:30am and begin checking emails. My ass hurts, and my legs are jelly but was a great wake me up. I think I can get into this. The only thing now is to get a new bike, this mountain off road bike suxor for riding in the big city. I have my eyes on a Bianchi Pista, a fixed gear bike. We’ll see if dreamy will let me buy one.
Oh man, I just found this one. Giant Bowery. Me gotta have.

Way to go Dan. Riding into work in the morning wakes me up and makes me a bit easier to deal with. Its been a great stress reducer. Also, you’ll notice a lot more on your way in by bike than by car. You become part of your environment. Keep it up.
