I am so lucky where I live and where I work. There is a "Bike Route" with big signs (no bike lanes or shoulders though) that goes from right near my apartment to where I work. I work in a building across from a ferry dock that takes a lot of bike traffic. Cars are used to seeing bikes along there, plus there are all those "bike route" warning signs. I only have 4 miles to go, downhill to work (15 min) uphill home (30 min). Don't even arrive sweaty cuz I can coast most of the way.

My boss is a totally hot bicycling goddess who has NO problem with any of us riding to work or parking our bikes inside the building. She even offered to do a bike-fit for me! She gives me biking advice! I mean, how totally awesomely cool is that?

I love my job, I love my boss, I love my neighborhood, I love my bike, love, love, love

All you need is love... and a bike!
