Today is National Bike to Work Day!
OK, no, you called me out. I did not bike to work today. Regardless of the fact I travel 82 miles to and from work each day, I am ashamed to admit that I don't even own a bicycle.
I had one, but I gave it away. Does that redeem me even a little? Alex and I both had bikes that someone had given us (it's the "reuse" part of that recycle logo) and we gave them to a younger couple in need.
As I think about cycling, it seems like more and more of a good idea. I do live fairly close to town, so it would not be unreasonable to ride a bike to run a nearby errand. The health benefits, not to mention the environmental ones, are a good motivator.
It may not be completely reasonable for you to ride your bike to work, but I encourage you to think about riding somewhere ... anywhere, really.
If biking is your thing, think about organizing a Ride Your Bike to Work day at your office for next year, or even sooner.

Since my folks took the training wheels off the bike my grandma gave me back in the day, and I fell and skinned my knees, bikes have lost their cachet with me. But do you think the man in the photo could pop a wheelie on that bike of his? ;)
