For the next 30 days I’m going to vow to ride my bike to work every single day, and to do ALL errands within 2 miles of home by bike. No excuses. No exceptions*. If I need to drive, I will ONLY do it on a Saturday.
*except when I have a chiro appt. across town right after school- which I do this Friday
I will truly use my bike as transportation. I just bought a new (to me) mixte, so I can’t wait o bring it out on the town and put it to good use!!
Want to join me in my 30 Day Challenge? Give it a shot- you never know, maybe at the end of the 30 days you’ll be listing that car for sale in the Auto Trader.
I’m inspired by my recent trip to Boston, where cycling abounds and nobody even thinks twice about getting on their bike to get places.
Here are some of my bike photos from Bahston:
Below is Hubway- Boston’s bike sharing program. Bikes are free for the first 30 min and there are stations all over the city. Great idea!
love this bike rack below (it’s a bike):
I was so inspired by the thousands of bikes around the city (on the roads, locked up, outside offices and grocery stores, etc). It was very uplifting and made me feel so proud to see all the beautiful steeds that were out there. Saw a Surly Big Dummy outside the Trader Joes, but didn’t get a pic.
I hope someday someone will take pictures of OKC and swoon like I did in Boston.
Pedal On! 
Good luck! That’s a fantastic and totally reasonable goal, I think. I will join you, but there will be some wimping out this week due to high winds and thunderstorms. And the small but embarassing fact that dh is away this week and there isn’t enough space between our cars and next door’s cars to get the trailer out of the garage onto the road on my own :excuses: When the weather picks up I could ask next door to help… I visited Boston years back and loved it!
Good on ya, Kate!! We’ll do this together! I drove to the grocery today, but only because it was a little too far to be toting home all those groceries (and the store 1.5 miles away doesn’t have all the vegan foods I needed).
