Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Well, I've done it! I rode my bike to work. Something I would never have done 156 pounds ago. By car it's about 4.5 miles, but by bike it's only about 2.8 miles. I live right next to the Iron Horse Trail that runs from Dublin (where I live) to Concord or beyond. It is a straight line from my house to the high school I work at in San Ramon. Mornings are fine because the air is cool, but afternoons are a bit more brutal because it is so hot out here in the valley. But I feel real good about myself and about riding and saving gas that is a big plus. So, all of you ambitious people out there get on your bikes and pedal to work. It's fun!!!

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 If I didn't live 40 miles from my work, I would ride my bike as well. The feeling of riding is so addictive. I have been staring at my bike in the garage for a couple of years now. I have finally lost enough weight to feel balanced on it again. So yeah I know the feeling! I have been on weekend rides of 1 1/2 to 2 hours at a time and it is GREAT! Keep up the good work! This is the best thing to do! Save gas and your heart at the same time! Woo-hoo!
