Back in the Saddle – Biking to Work Again.
Vacation is over, it’s time to bike!
I had taken a vacation a few weeks back and then came back more tiered than when I left. I recuperated from that and then started to bike (a little). I biked to work the day after we got back and again last week once. I know, that is not much. But the weather is getting colder and the sun is up later and then sets earlier. Yuck!
So you think I am being a wimp?! OK, you got me. But now, I will be biking to work most of the time! A change of heart, a realization that global warming is in part my responsibility? Sadly, no. My son’s car died over Labor Day weekend and he took our car back to Green Bay.
That’s right. Now we are a one car family and I do not want to drive the mini-van to work! If Kristin needs it for the daycare (getting groceries) or to shuttle Chelsea to something or other the van should be left in Lancaster.
In all fairness, Kris and Chelsea have been riding their bikes to work and school more often than I have been riding mine to work. The van sat at home Tuesday and they had ridden their bikes most of last week. Who needs a car?
Well, I may if we get rain. I also hate the cold, and the daylight being lost every day! I want to bike to work on June 20th with 16 hours of daylight in 87 degrees! Well, maybe next year. From here to the foreseeable future, it is a lose of temperature and sunlight. RATS!
