Sorry, I never posted on my commute......I can not express in words how much I love riding to work!! It is 9.7 miles each way and I only get to ride 2, maybe 3 times a week (I have job commitments that require a car) but so far I have just over 450 miles total on my commuting bike. I have now reached my weight loss goal. I started on June 1 at 183 lbs and am now at my goal of 125 lbs. I went from a size 16-18 down to a size 4-6. Biking played a HUGE part in my weight loss. I am so glad I picked an activity that I love to do......lucky me.
