How many took the 30 day pledge?

I pledged too. I already try to ride to work most days but this will get me to do it in iffy weather when I might otherwise decide to drive. Today was rainy but I rode and it was kind of fun to be out in different conditions - and my raincoat worked just fine. Plus I'll do more early season recreational rides and that'll help me get ready for a big organized ride I'm doing in June. Some days I probably will just ride around the block to keep the streak going, but I'm OK with that. For me, it does feel like a fun win-win. But I can understand not wanting to sign up if it would make you feel like you HAVE to ride instead of WANT to ride.

I wish I could, but I am going to be out of the country once this month for two weeks and out of state for another. I do ride on our bike commute challenge month. I didn't miss a day of that.

I didn't take the pledge because it's not the right thing for me (I basically ride every day, it's not really a challenge), but I enjoy this sort of thing and I support everyone who is doing it. Way to go!

Today was about 15 degrees cooler than yesterday with a north wind. Taking that pledge nudged me into going out anyway and I was so glad I did. Spring is so iffy around here a little motivation goes a long way.

Wow, that's a great idea but I think it's too late now. And also next week I'll be on a running race out of town and I won't be able to take my bike. Anyway, I think riding about 300-320 days per year is enough

Whoa, this is pretty awesome, YOU are a rock-star

I'm not sure about meeting this 30 day pledge of consecutive cycling in Apr. Where I live, I have to gauge each day, weather-wise. We'll see but we are prone to a snowfall even in April.

But in previous years, I have cycled 30 days maybe once during each year. Not that I plan it, it's just the way how things worked out. Being car-free also helps meet this pledge more easily...because sometimes I have little choice if I want to do loads of shopping or get to work in a pleasant/quicker way.

But it is a feat to cycle in this dedicated way...without hating the bike. Usually I find I need a day off the bike after 3 wks. or so.

Malkin, you must be in great shape by now.

Way to go! Some of my friends are doing it and I enjoy seeing their posts every day.

We had a SOUTH wind-- opposite of yours-- uh oh, maybe the two winds are going to meet up and give us some tornadoes! A friend & I went south for almost an hour and then turned around. I don't think it took us 20 minutes to get back! On the way back we did not drop below 17 mph (and my bike is not built for speed).

April is gone and it's time to answer the challenge. I signed up for 30 days and fell short. I'm not surprised with our "spring that wasn't" so far, but taking the challenge got me out more days than I would have otherwise and I rode farther and longer than if I had not challenged myself. So all in all I'm glad I did! It was really stupid weather but it's all good this week. In Michigan we sprang right past spring and into summer. 80's this week!
