I’m Biking to Work Now!
Woot! I only live 5 miles from the office and have been meaning to start biking, but have been reticent to buy a new bike, since my last was stolen.

Now, I am getting 40 minutes of exercise each day (20 min each way) and saving $40 in gas, every two weeks. This is a seriously sweet investment:
I live about a mile from work, and have thought about biking, but the fear of being run-over, has always stopped me (I have to cross a big intersection). That and I don’t own a bike.
Thanks for the news.
