i’m back!

August 23, 2011 CGR 5 comments

hopefully none of you will ever have to experience going weeks without biking over an injury. i have a hard time listening to the doctor when he says “no biking!” biking is my therapy, my joy drug, so i’ve been doing short commutes here and there and running a few errands on bike but being out of the house and moving feels great. plus we’ve been getting lot’s of sunshine here in the east bay so i need to take advantage before summer ends right? i’m not 100% but i’m a dreamer that’s a go getter so i guess i can say i’m back!

school is starting this week so i imagine being incredibly slow on posts. i hope you guys will hang in with me this fall semester as i assume many of you will be going back to university too. i got to revisit the old bike commute route and realized how much i missed having that time to breath just before a long lecture and work day. also, Wendy is getting a new license to park and ride around campus, we are required by law to have one. i wonder what many of your college bike commute experiences been. have or do any of you commute to school on bike?

Heh, back in the old days when I was going to school, I was, for a couple of years, driving 30 miles per day back and forth from school to home. I don't miss those days (though that is where I met my wife, so it could be worse) 🙂 Then, after that, I was taking the bus about an hour each way to University. I don't really miss that either 🙂 Now that I'm older and wiser (hah!), I'm riding to work (and everywhere else) 🙂 Hope your foot is back to 100% soon! Good luck getting back into… Read more »

Welcome back and I hope you have a speedy recovery so you no longer have to worry or feel guilty about riding bikes when you were told not to 🙂
