OK--I can't always commute on my bicycle. And I don't live that far. So here's an idea for some of y'all that can swing it. I keep my faithful old Schwinn (Gertrude) at our business. She likes it down here. Then when I have to do errands during work (bank, PO, accountant's office), I hop on her. She's a "girl's" bike so I can even ride her with a skirt on. I just keep a helmet here. It's amazing how many miles I put on her in a year's time, and I am saving on burning fossil fuel. I'm known around town as that little woman on the green bike with a basket.
