    How many took the 30 day pledge?

    http://30daysofbiking.com/pledge I took it and today being the first day I couldn't wimp out so it was a shortie. 35F, 25mph north winds, what was that? A snowflake? Heck ya! I think the first week of this is going to be the hardest due to weather cause I REALLY don't like riding in the cold. But a pledge is a pledge so I'll give it my best.

    Now, this last weekend was just utterly wonderful weather and it was great to be out on a few springtime rides.

    I would love that sort of pledge, but my life just isn't laid out that way right now. I've been getting in four to five days a week, and that's all I can fit in. I suppose I could ride around my block for a couple times just to say I did, but........

    I am just too much of a cold-temperature wimp to take this challenge. Now, if it were in JUNE I would seriously consider it. I am just happy that I just had two of my three rides for 2013

    I know I would never do it, so I won't take the pledge.

    Being obligated to cycle every day would make me hate my bike. I cycle all winter and (sometimes) in rain -- but committing to cycle every day? No thank you.

    Thank you for posting this, Bike Writer. I took the pledge...it's a challenge and it's supposed to be challenging, to get us doing something different, change things up a bit, for the better. It is challenging me to get on my bike every day, even for a ride around the block or to the post office. Today I went to a meeting on my bike. Tomorrow I have another meeting downtown, and I will go by bike. Thursday I don't have any meetings, but I'll ride to the post office. Friday I'll be on an actual bike trip, so no problem, there. It's inspiring me to find reasons to ride my bike every day. Next week I'm going to try a new cafe several times during the week--on my bike. Not only will I ride my bike but I'll also have an excuse to check out some new cafes that have sprung up. Win-Win!
