How Was Your Commute Today?

[aeiea]

Are we allowed to post our reality commute versus our imaginary commute?

Reality:
I'm in a car which requires me to go through 3 different highways, all the with the same inattentive, self-righteous, and rage-filled drivers. They switch lanes without signaling, they stop suddenly for no reason at all, they don't let signaling people into their lane. Traffic teases, seeming like it'll stay 65 mph ... and suddenly, it slams into a frustrating stop-and-go... emphasis on the stop.

It takes me an hour and a half to go 20 miles. I arrive at work upset and tired.

Imaginary:
I'm on a bike and hitting all the green lights at the right time. The bike lane is wide and free. The weather is sunny yet cool, and the ocean wind refreshes me from time to time. I belt out the synth parts of 80's tunes while zooming by amused people waiting for the bus.

It takes me an hour and a half to go 20 miles. I arrive at work excited and energetic.





With my new (further) job and new bike, I will be making the transition to bike commute hopefully next week... baby steps.
