1,000km on the bike!
Shortly after getting my bike in April, I got a nice little wireless speedometer/odometer for it so I could keep track of my riding. I’ve kept track of pretty much every ride I’ve been on, and today on my way home, I hit the 1,000km mark.
Over half of those kilometers came from riding to work, which I’ve done 45 times now. I did some quick calculations, and I figure I’ve saved about $150 in parking and probably another $100 in gas by commuting via bicycle.
I may be bragging a little, but I’m pretty proud of this feat. I bet if I added up all the time I spent riding a bike since I was a kid, it wouldn’t amount to how much I’ve ridden in the past four months. My goal for the year is to accumulate 1,500km, so I still have another 500km to go. But there’s still another two months or so of biking weather available, so I’m sure I’ll reach my goal before the year is up.

Hey.
Christien told me about your “bike club”. That’s cool dude. I think you guys should take this up a notch and enter some competitions. Maybe become the next Lance Armstrong, except with your balls still intact. I dunno.
Anyhoo-ha.
Keep it real.
Peace.
