Hello, about a week ago, I made a commitment to my Facebook friends and wife that I would ride my bike to work every day the weather allows me to do so. I live about 3 miles from the high school where I teach, so there's really no reason not to commute by bicycle. To give you some insight into my reasoning, I love bicycles and I believe they will ultimately be the means by which most of us travel in the near future, with imminent oil shortages.
The other thing about the bike is that I need something to get all jazzed up about and I figure that the bike will give me something to look forward to at the beginning and end of the school day. I want to improve my health and I want to do something good for the world and set an example.
I'm not sure about this blog thing, so my plan is to blog something each day about my bike commute, whether it's just a look at the sunrise, a complaint about bad drivers and stinky cars, or just to say I did it and didn't wuss out.
