Well, today was my first day as a bike commuter. Got my new pedals and saddle on the ol' trek, and my new Timbuk2 bag. I had a doc appt today and I was a bit late leaving so I was hammering most of the way in. I got there with no time to spare, locked my bike up, and got my can upstairs. I wasn't able to change so I had to sit in my bike clothing, which the nurses in the dept quite enjoyed. I'm a regular patient and work in the dept, so I know everyone and we all rib each other. All I know is I walked out being on less medication for the crohn's disease than I walked in, so I must have looked all rosey and healthy. Mental note: ride bike to doc appointment more often.
Met up with Fuji Girl and some other residents for lunch, still in the bike garb. Changed for a grand total of 2 hours to do some work, then back into the bike gear to meet up with some friends for some mexican food. I'll admit it, had a margarita. But was fine to ride home, honest mom It was a bit chilly coming back, and getting a little dark. Put my blinky light on my bag and off I went. It was a great ride back, the timing on the lights was great so I made good time (unlike this morning). At one point I was riding along side a stretch Hummer limo with a newly married couple standing out the sunroof. Needless to say I got a lot of cheers from the bridal party. I think they were just drunk. Now it's time to get out of these bike clothes, and stretch out on the sofa. I can say it was a great first commute day. I'm hooked
