A Recap Of My Earth Day Contribution

My first ever ride to work on my bike went very well. The weather was great and so was the ride. I was surprised to find that riding my bike only took me an additional 10 minutes. I guess sitting at stops lights consumes a lot of time and makes up a large portion of my regular commute.

In addition to polluting less and saving money on gas, riding in gives me an extra kick in the morning. When I get to work I feel great and am ready to go. Usually I don’t feel that way until I’ve had some time to settle in and have a cup of coffee.

As long as the weather cooperates and gas hovers around $4/gallon, I’ll continue riding my bike to work at least three times per week.

How about you? Are you changing your routine now that gas seems set to hit the magic $4/gallon mark?
