Your Day

not bad at all.

i know it was a rhetorical question but that's dope. i cannot wait to dig in to my new job's wellness incentives - I think they pay like $25/week if you bike in? and they'll split the cost of your gym membership.

this is why i went to community college for 8 years.

Why don't you live closer, you twit?! Thirty minutes round trip for me is still tedious as ****!

Cycling really changes your outlook on a working day. Driving or public transportation commutes can suck ass if there's traffic (which there usually is).

Yeah, my school gives me $200 a month for transportation, so the bike paid for itself in less than five months. Everything else is gravy.

Ok, so it's even shorter. 7 and a half miles. The 24km is round trip.

My bike commute used to be about 40 mins there and 40 mins back. Plus I was doing two trips a day: one round trip in the morning and ditto in the afternoon. That was the fittest I'd ever been in my life - luckily it was all on the flat, done on a light second-hand bike with no gears that cost about 15 dollars.

Sometimes the ride was the best moment of my day, many times it was just a slog, but it was only truly depressing when it rained.

I bike two miles to work and it's a 15-minute ride, so that would be almost an hour. **** that. I'd catch the subway.

And when in the dead of winter or summer?
