The weather was absolutely perfect last Friday so I jumped on my bike and rode to work for the first time ever, getting a head start on bike to work week.
There has been road construction near our home for the last couple years but they are finally finished and now I have a freshly paved, super-wide, 5 lane road for a nice portion of my 9 mile ride. And I can’t complain about the rest of the route; The route is flat and roads are well paved and generally plenty wide. And the traffic hasn’t seemed too bad yet. Oh yea, and I have plenty of space to keep my bike beside my desk so I don’t have to worry all day about it being stolen.
I had a nice time. Enough that I rode in again today and am planning to most days so long as I don’t need my car for anything and the weather isn’t too bad.
My only dilemma is what to do with my bike come June or so when I convert my road bike into a tricked out tri ride. The fast-forward seat post and aero bars aren’t going to make for a comfy ride with a laptop strapped to my back.
