Transportation


Today I left the Honda in the garage and rode my bike to work. I do this most days when the weather is reasonable. It's a round trip of only 3 miles; easy-breezy! It takes only about 8 minutes to get down there, hardly more than it takes to back the car out on to our busy street and drive there. I got a little moderate aerobic exercize, enjoyed a beautiful spring day, and saved on gas. What's not to like?

Great job!!! Very inspiring!! I love that the weather is improving - lots more time to do things outdoors. Thanks for your comment about polluted air and clotheslines. Another reader made the same point. I'll try to have an allergy-prone/smog-prone option for my participants. Thanks for stopping by, Joyce!

Good to hear from you, Gift of Green! You young moms are pretty inspiring! There seem to be quite a few of you tackling lifestyle changes and rallying your friends to do the same.

Yay! Nice job. Biking to/from work is so good for your health and the environment.
