I don't understand? It's not really 6 miles to work? I'm pretty sure it's still 6 miles, no matter how you look at it unless I were to take a scenic route home or something.

If I were to run errands, then yes, it would be longer, but I don't even care about running the errands. I just want to be outside every morning on my way to work!

Tulip - you make some very good points. My DH can absolutely pick up the CSA share...I don't know why I never thought of that? Duh! I'll still be in charge of putting it all away or he'll likely just shove the bags into the back of the fridge, but he can certainly do the pick up! Cool...one more day to bike!

The food bank is about 7 miles from work (about a mile past my house) but even if I had a cargo bike, I'd have to leave work so early to make it before they closed that it would be a problem. I know I'd get delayed at work and miss the donation window! Eventually, we won't be harvesting stuff for the food bank every week so Monday's and Tuesdays will be free then too. I'll just have to wait. Unfortunately, by then, the gorgeous weather will be gone too, but you can't win them all! ;-)
