I am proud. I have rode a bicycle to work for twelve of the last fourteen days. Can you say that. That is green. Sometimes it makes my legs hurt. But in the end they feel better. I am not thinking that if you have to go ten miles to your work you shouldn't drive. But it you live close get out that old bicycle. I have found that my two mile ride is within two minutes of each over if I ride a bicycle instead of driving.
You look at the magazine rack at the store. Here are all thse $10,000 bikes with models riding them. This is fantasy. Get you an old beater and ride. Go to where you want to go on your old bike. Close at first. Then you will find yourself going further. Not overnight. But over time. Then you will find this a viable peice of transportation. Faster than walking. Almost as fast or faster than a car in many situations.
Don't be afraid. Start out slow, build up. You will find that this is a nice experience that you will like on and on. You are however exposed. So find some kind of weapon that you can manage. There are desperate people out there who will try to mess up your parade. Take them out. There are also nice people too. They do still exist. Have fun. Get your exercise. Go where you want. Save at least 25% on your gas bill,
