Obstacles & Excuses

The Bike Commute Challenge is putting my laziness to the test this week. So far I'm winning, but I'll admit it's been tough. After 3 days of riding in the mountains last weekend, there's been no rest and no reprieve from riding.

My commute is only 10 miles each way, a veritable walk in the park. The Challenge has been a nice reminder that the car is a luxury and to use it accordingly.

I lived a car-free lifestyle for almost two decades and am grateful to the Bicycle Transportation Alliance for renewing my goal of a limited-car life instead of a car-limited one.
