The ladies on this board have inspired me to do a spot of bicycle commuting here and there and to drive my guzzlermobile as little as possible. I work at home (unless I'm going through a terrible dry spell) but I ride to my volunteer job at PAWS(6.2 miles on a very cushy bike lane) and to the store (1.7 miles through cut-throat shoppers looking for the fastest path into the mall ). I find that it makes me really look forward to going to PAWS and running errands. Oddly, it doesn't seem to take me much longer to bike to these places than it does to get there by car.
