Why I Ride: Because every time I run an errand on my bike rather than in my car I feel like I'm getting away with something; because I have fully functional limbs & a healthy spine; because cycling is more convenient than driving most of the time; because it's free; because I eat like a junkyard dog.
My Commute: 5 minutes (maybe less) from home to work. I usually run at least one errand during the ride (namely groceries, lunch, or dinner).
