How Was Your Commute Today?

I went ahead and rode the Iguana in to work today, since there are fewer students around (dead day before finals). No expectations of anything. It's not a bad little bike and stable under load, although the seatpost isn't as fixed as I thought it was. I'm trying to figure out how to fix the slipping pannier, and I think I need to swap the grips out for ergonomic ones.

Home to work is about 13 miles. I got lost and that added another 7. And I made it up the giant hill without getting off! I don't know how often I'm going to be doing this--right now sunrise coincides with rush hour (which starts at 7 am, for some reason), and I'm starting to think that whatever I save in gas and parking will be spent on food!

It's been short rides for past week --for shopping and work. Enjoying these quiet contemplative rides with Christmas lights along the way. It feels like lull to me, before other drastic stuff happens in life.

Finally, bike commuting again! After 5 weeks of constant snowstorms, snowy narrow roads, and very cold temperatures here in the Boston area, I was able to bike to work again on dry roads with temperature almost 30F and sunshine. Another snowstorm, followed by sleet and rain, coming tonight, so this will be short-lived, but a harbinger of spring to come. It felt good to be back on the bike.

It was nice yesterday... but the snowy, narrow roads have stopped me from doing anything except snow related sports!

I got dropped off in the morning and rode home after work- nice temps but breezy. I've done one other afternoon only commute and one full commute. Now the sun is up earlier, I hope to get back to riding to work at least once a week.

I've bike commuted every day this week. I get to work quickly (only 30 min vs 45-60 on the bus), enjoying the weather and exercise. And no walking down icy sidewalk to the bus stop 1.2 miles away. Roads are still a bit narrow from remaining snow, but not bad at all.

Back into biking to work. Biked 3 of my 4 shifts this week. It's a pitiful 3 block commute, but it's finally not 20 degrees in the AM when I leave so I feel accomplished ��
