I took Kirkbike to work today! It's about 3.75 miles each way; not an insubstantial distance. I feel so accomplished. And sweaty (just hopped out of the second shower of the day. At least I was bright enough to take a change of clothes). And tired. And saddlesore. I could use a sensual mass-age from Edward Cullen's icy Adonis fingertips right now, is what I'm saying. Also I think my arms might be sunburned, or at the very least at maximum freckle capacity.

I'm going to flail in the direction of the kitchen, find the one thing of lemon Gatorade I'm pretty sure we have, and collapse in front of something inane on TV.

The more you do it, the less tired you'll be each day. Lower your gas bills, build up your cardio, a bit of exercise every day - biking is totally made of win.

Just don't forget the sunscreen.

Every time I see an adult on a bicycle I no longer despair for the future of the human race.

My hometown had at least one bike for every three people and is the hometown of the US Bicycling Hall of Fame. He'd have liked it there.

Nice! When I was still living back home I used to bike to work - about five miles each way, and I'd leave early enough so I could stop for coffee on the way. It was always a really nice way to unwind at the end of the day, too. I miss that commute a lot.

The return trip was definitely more relaxing since I didn't have a deadline! Mostly I'm glad it's a simple, pleasant route - I'm still getting comfortable biking as a grown-up, heh.
