Co-Workers, Geez.

[Tri Girl]

That's funny. Coworkers used to be amazed when I used to work 2.5 miles from home (sadly, I wasn't as into biking then as I am now that I live 25 miles from work). Now I've commuted the 25 mile route to work and back a few times. They really think I'm nuts- and make silly/snide comments some days. I don't mind- I hope it motivates some of them to bike or walk to work some day. My students think it's cool- and they are the ones that I hope to inspire, as my coworkers are a "lost cause" (three of my teaching partners in my hallway live less than a half mile from school and drive everyday).

Keep on riding- maybe someone will be inspired enough to give their commute a try.

On a side note, I've been much "greener" lately about my lifestyle. We walk or bike to the movie rental box, and I've ridden my bike to the grocery store and library a couple times. I even built a trailer to haul things on and I'm hoping to try big grocery shopping and errands soon with it. When I looked at my "two mile radius" it really IS amazing how many things are in that circle (too bad work is so far away ).
