nervous-bike locker rental

[Jo-n-NY]

My commute will only be 3 miles one way with just an over pass to tend with.

I got the agreement in the mail Friday, but the DOT guy is coming to our bike meeting as a speaker tonight. I just want to be sure they are not putting the bike lockers in the town that I live in any time soon. If so, I would rather wait them.

Since my ride is so short, I will probably just wear my regular clothes. I really probably won't work up any sweat even in the hot weather as I will be leaving at like 6:00am if not a little sooner.

Listening to you other ladies I do not feel so silly anymore. Like you, once I do it once I will ask myself why I was nervous. It is just a change thing.

I would love to hear other stories of new commutors also. I will report when I make my first trip. Although I love that we will be having longer days beginning this coming weekend, my morning will be dark, so I will have to wait to make my first commuter voyage until I get morning light.

Oh, these lockers are yearly also, but begin when you sign the agreement, well a few days later as they put March 8 as when mine begins. It is $60.00 a year with a $20.00 key charge which they refund when you give up the locker. The months that I commute during the year will go by the morning sunlight.

A part of me is excited too, however.

I have a headlight on my commuter bike. I really love riding in the early morning before there is much traffic about. The lack of noise (cars) is so pleasant and wow, the morning air is undescribable . The ride home means lots of traffic and noise. Good luck in your first commute.....

thanks sbctwin....the headlight will be something good to think about once I am use to my new little venture.
