This morning DH and I did our first "hybrid" commute. Parked at a grocery store 10 miles from the house and rode the additional 12 miles to work. We get to spend the first 7 miles riding together. It was so much fun! We even met another commuter, he said he has been doing it for years but doesn't meet many people out in the burbs that commute. I got to work a little sweatier than I would like, but took a baby wipe bath in the restrooms. I don't think I stink now. The only thing I am worried about is come summer when it is 80% humidity and 80 degrees for the low.

All of my co-workers are very interested in my bike and also impressed that if I stick with this I expect to save $40-50 a week in gas. I doubt I could win some converts but at least they might think about it. I also in a much better mood than normal, not sure I can credit cycling but I will. Did I mention it was fun? No wonder all the commuters around here seem so chipper.
