Walking or pedalling to work

June 4th, 2008 at 10:41 pm

Starting next week I am going to either try and walk to work or ride my bike. I literally think biking will take me 5 mins. if I do a short cut. I have to do this! I can DO THIS!!! One trick is to maybe keep my mouth shut about it. I sorta told my kids I was going to do it and they thought it was weird! I also think it is best to not make a big deal about it to others and just do it. I may ride my bike over the weekend to work to see the shortest route. I am very excited to try something kinda new and different.
I live so close to work I really need to make the most of it.

    Wow, only five mintues to work by bike? You are so lucky. Have you scouted out a place to lock up your bike there? I biked to a couple of internships in summers. It was hard to find a place for the bike. I had to also go in very early because I needed to avoid the heat and traffic. I put a change of clothes in a hard box (so as not to wrinkle the clothes too much) strapped to the back of the bike so that I could wash up (regular restroom--now shower) when I got there. I aslo took a little bottle of alocohol based toner to help cool down and remove any road grits from faces, chest, arms. If I was wearing any make up back then (don't recall) I'm sure it did not go on until after all my freshening up at work.

    OMG, I Just remembered that sometimes I had few foam curlers in my hair on the ride! I just wore a bandana on my head. If you do this your children will probably really think you are crazy.

    I also had to factor in a cool-down period of time so that I would not be all red-faced and sweaty when I met my workmates. But the rides in the morning were really nice. People out and about at 5:30 on summer mornings were really friendly. "G'morning, sister!" they'd call after having seen me a couple days in a row.
