I Want To Ride My Bicycle: Season Two. Almost.

Last year, I biked to work most of the summer.  It was a great thing; it had an almost immediate and very dramatic effect on my health – mental and physical – and generally improved my attitude about most things.

Of course, by “Summer”, I mean “from about June 15 to mid-September.  The kids’ school situations made it difficult to ride during the school year.  Last year, anyway.

This year, one way or another, things are shaping up much better; due to changes in kids’ schedules and levels of responsibility, I can reasonably expect to be able to hit the road for my half-hour ride early enough to make it in by 8:30, grab a quick shower, and be working in plenty of time.

And since this week is the kids’ spring break, I figured in a fit of optimism that I mght be able to kick the season off this week.

But while I do know people who ride year-round, and might try it myself when the kids move out (in about three years, two months and fifteen days), I gotta confess – waking up and flipping on the weather on April 3 and seeing 25 degrees is a bit of a deterrent.

Ooof.  Maybe next week.
