I finally did it.
I finally biked to work.
And guess what.
It was fantastic. Here is why:
1. I did in 40 minutes! (that's like 12 miles an hour, but it's okay because I had 9 stoplights.) It essentially doubles my commute time.
2. It was a beautiful 74 degrees this morning and my ride was mostly in the shade.
3. I was 30 minutes early to work and I woke up 30 minutes early which means....
If I get all my crap together the night before, I don't have to wake up early to bike to work.
Isn't that the most wonderful news you've heard all week?
Yes. Yes it is.
4. Nobody, like, bothered me about biking to work. I talked to a couple of my coworkers coming in, but that was pretty much it. Nobody was in my face yelling at me about how dangerous it was.
5. It was relatively easier than what I had to bike to my old job. Not only was it 2 miles shorter, but there are a lot fewer left turns (and none on the way home) and Pooler Parkway is way less traff-icky than Hwy 80.
Only two regrets:
1. My groin is so sore. Why can't banana seats be as soft as actual bananas?
2. I should've done this a year ago.
And don't worry; I've got a multimedia blog post coming about that time I went to Europe.
In the meantime...
Remember when I used to be a Jansen,
