Bike to Work Today

Today is bike to work day! My office does a big “Green Your Commute” Day every year, where they encourage employees to ride, take the bus, walk, or carpool to work. They have raffles and events at lunchtime.  In the past I’ve taken the bus and carpooled on that day. Usually on any given day, I can’t take the bus because I have class straight after work, but I have a break in between spring and summer session where I can ride to work.

I finally faced my fear and rode my bike to work. I’ve been wanting to do it for ages, and finally just forced myself to do it. I got my gear ready this morning, put my new pink cycling jacket and went out. Chris even got me an awesome mirror for my bike, which helps with seeing the cars behind on the left–I love it!

I made it work in about 45 minutes, it was a beautiful morning and the traffic wasn’t too bad. It was actually pretty fun!
