Commuting Is Fun
I pedaled my ass off to and from work today. This resulted in:
1.5+ minutes off my morning commute (16:03, 4.2 miles)
1.0+ minutes off my evening commute (20:49, 4.8 miles)
Yesh! :-D
I must admit, however, that part of the time gap between yesterday and today may be due to stoplights. Also, I have yet to finalize my evening commute route. We'll see about the lights and the route in a few more rides.
In somewhat amusing news, pink seems to be a popular color for my bike commute. Last week's pink T-shirt resulted in honking (which scared me the first time because I thought I was doing something wrong). Today's pink tank top earned a "You go, girl!" plus a hoot.
Or was it a "Whoo!"?
Speaking of "Whoo!" ... I hopped a medium-sized curb today and didn't kill myself. I know that may not sound like much to you, but the last (and, coincidentally, first) time I tried it I flew over my handlebars and into a bush. That was almost 10 years ago. Hooray for the bush.
And whoo me for not flying over my handlebars the second time around!
