    Here it's in June, but I don't know about teams.

    I'll actually start my "long distance" (12 km, compared to the current 1 km) commute tomorrow. Should be fun!!

    We are never organized around here We have more cycling commuters than most places but all too little happening to get other people to cross the line. Still trying!

    I'm on a team - since I only work 2 days a week and only commute 12 miles a day I'm not adding too much, but hey, miles is miles. (if I bike to my volunteer position that should count too though - right?) that would put me up to 3 days and more miles.

    I'm not on a team of any sort, but I did ride today. Today was the first time since moving here I had trouble finding a place on the bike rack to lock my bike though!

    Either people are thinking in terms of 'Bike to Work' month...or they are just itchin' to get out when the sun is shinning! (I'm putting my bet on reason # 2 ).

    Sounds like a great excuse for a cute little cruiser bike. I wish I had an excuse to get one ...

    Yeah - I used to work 2 blocks from my house- probably would have taken me more time to get the bike out of the basement than it did to walk.... too bad is was such an awful place to work, I loved the commute.....

    Here, this is supported by the department of health and other orgs. It does not matter how many miles you cover "human powered", you can even walk, but it matters that you do at least 50% of your working days in June.

    You can even win prizes. Hope we get something...


    Scary skies?

    how about a hail shower 3 weeks ago, that left over an inch of hail on the ground. I thought I could do it. Then I got scared. Hitched the bike on the tram and 2 stops later, it was gone. Sorta like in cartoons where they have the cloud just over their heads....

    You obviously need to work on your route

    I commuted to work when I worked in my bedroom. I'd go out for a ride and then settle in and write... and then go out for another ride when I'd gotten enough done for the day.

    That's a really great idea. I don't typically work from home, but what a great way to separate out "work time" from "home time".
