    Cool idea. i'm going to join you in the "every day for 30 days" challenge, since I need some extra motivation on some days. I'll count today as Day One, as I did a short (10 miles) ride with friends early morning, and did another short (7 miles) ride later.

    I can't actually claim this idea as my own. I read it elsewhere on this site and it sounded like a good idea to me!

    Love the challenge - Every day for 30 days. I think I will try that as well. Of course, I didn't ride yesterday but I did take a hike but hey today is a new day. I don't commute as I live above my store but I do take stuff to the post office on my bike, all the time

    Love the challenge. I'll join you- except I'm going to Boston this week for business, so I won't be near my bike- but I'll start once I get home!

    Way to go!
    Keep at it, who knows, maybe you'll inspire him to give it a try.
    Do you have cargo capacity? To keep food warm or cold, put it in an insulated lunchbox.

    good for you, slowspoke! I love the idea of setting days and a distance barrier. It's so much easier if you don't have to consider and re-consider every time, but just do it. Great way to go at it.
