Back on the Bike
After a Week and a Half, I am Back on the Bike
I have been doing very well with biking to work on most days this summer despite the rain and even fog. But on the eleventh of this month we had a couple delightful guests visiting at our home. They were part of a larger group of the Musikkapelle Heiden community band who had come to our community as part of a sister city exchange set up by band members in both communities.
Well part of our responsibility for being a host family was to get our guests to the places they needed to be and provide transportation when needed. As a result, I ended up driving to work most days. It was fun having our guests, but I did feel guilty about driving so much and not biking.
After our guests left, I took a rest day (Wednesday) to recover from all the late nights and early mornings. Then came the rain. Thursday and Friday of last week saw thunder storms and quite a bit of rain.
Well today I rode my bike to work. It was great! I enjoyed every peddal stroke and thought to myself “Ah, this is what I have been longing for, this is the part of my life that is now habit”.
