Starting October 10 I rode my bike to work. And the next day and the next. I haven't told anyone that I'm trying for a whole year, I'm just trying to consistently ride my bike.
I've received some push-back from concerned parents for night riding and we'll see how tomorrow goes (it's supposed to pour all day). My parents are already concerned and my coworkers will think I'm crazy.
Ah, well, here goes!
A few "rules" that I've started formulating, otherwise it's biking or walking for me:
- If it's more than 10 miles away, it's okay to take a car (unless you have the time and are feeling ambitious).
- If you need to take family, friends or pets to the doctor, it's okay to take a car.
- If it's an emergency, it's okay to take the car.
I still haven't figured out how to handle this with Chris. He'll support me riding, but he's not really interested in it for himself... So do I limit dates to the Holland/Zeeland area and just meet him there? Or do I just plan on going on dates in Grand Rapids so that it's okay to drive?
So, there ya go. We'll see how long this lasts!
