You can do it!

The biggest thing is just doing it once, for the first time. Give it a try one day.

If it works out OK, do it again, and again, and you'll figure out ways to make it better. Sometimes the inertia before doing something for the first time is the biggest obstacle.

I've been slowly bike commuting more and more over the years, and it has become a habit. It started with me not even riding when I lived 0.5 miles from work, no joke. Then I got the bright idea one day that I should ride. I did. Duh, I thought, that was easy. Well, now I live 8 miles from work. This year I've been riding to work more than ever, and overcoming one-by-one what were formerly "obstacles." For example, now I ride home at night, now I ride in the rain, now I run an errand or two from work mid-day on my bike, and I think I'll be trying out cold-weather commuting for the first time soon. Is snow commuting in my future? Never tried it, but who knows?
