I’ve landed a new job close to home. Close enough to bike to work. I’ve mapped out the route–flat the entire way. It means doing my morning meditation (Gongyo) a little (a lot) earlier than I’m used to. It means layers for cold mornings (does this mean I need a new bike to work wardrobe?) On days I’m not biking I get to take Wado Dog to work! The neighbors will be praying for those days! I’m super excited! While I was off traveling this summer I realized that I need more challenge in my life. What? Trying to keep a marriage fresh and raising 2 kids isn’t enough of a challenge? A new job is just the challenge I need. I’m expecting my readers to hold me accountable if I wimp out on the bike to work thing! I’ll keep you posted!

good luck biking!!! I have recently been shopping for bikes…I am becoming convinced the extra $ may be worth it for a better bike!
Much more eco friendly too!
True! That’s a good point!
actually, the bike thing sounds like a refreshing adventure to me–all wind in your hair and everything! Of course…this stinks on rainy days, or really cold days…but nevermind that! Think of the wind in your hair!
Oh yes I had your words in my head this morning as I tried the ride out. It was awesome! I can totally do this!
Jennie, I did it for a while with my husband (we worked close to eachother) only we had a very steep hill. The one bicycle broke (on a day when the skies decided to open up and pour out on us)and we conveniently used that as an excuse for not cycling any more.
Oh I wonder if I’l be tough enough to bike in the rain? I rode it this morning and it’s totally doable!
