So I’ve started riding my bike to work. I can tell I’ll be in great shape from this, but it’s more because the consistency of exercise, not because it is super-hard.
Honestly my ass hurts more than my legs. I need to develop some kind of bony dinosaur thing on my ass via evolution, then I’d be set!
My goals are:
I decided to see how far I could bike towards work in 1 hour last night. I made it 10.25 miles. Basically all the way from Leonard to 54th St. I wasn’t really that tired or sweaty afterwards either.
Since 76th St is only 3 more miles away, I have determined that I can easily make the 13 mile trip to work if I can get up early enough for an hour and a half commute.
Yay free transportation and free excercise!
Boo high gas prices!
I finally got around to getting my old BMX put back together (I had brought it up from AL last visit). While ridable, it still needed a lot of work I am not ready to invest just yet.
What it did however was remind me how fun riding is, and I bought a cheap mountain bike off of craigslist. Had a blast riding it around the neighborhood and I’m planning on maybe taking it to work when weather permits.
