As some of you may have seen, my husband and I recently relocated across the country (NC to OR). I haven't been commuting since we moved here and it's been driving me nuts. I've been here for 3 weeks already!

I currently live 1.5 miles from work. I've been driving partly because the weather has been so yucky, and partly because I couldn't justify putting on bike clothes for such a short ride on my road bike. I also didn't want to leave my nice bikes sitting out on a bike rack exposed to the elements.

Late last week, I bought an old Schwinn mixte frame and this weekend, I got the fenders on it. Yesterday, I found the appropriate saddle (for now). Today I drove this morning to bring a bunch of stuff to work, but then I went home for lunch. After eating, I biked back. It took 10 minutes from garage to desk...same time it takes by car!!

I'm never driving again.
