    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.

    Good for you! All the best. I think the main link for the project is here - http://www.30daysofbiking.com/ - I am planning on doing the September one. It's a great idea doing shorter errands by bike rather than car, as those journeys are the most inefficient and uneconomic ones to do in a motor vehicle.

    Slightly o/t - as I couldn't do the 30 days of riding challenge this month I'm instead logging and blogging all my journeys for 30 days - where, how, how much, how efficient, how happy they made me and so on. I'm barely a week in and it's already interesting.
