Bike to work week

Of course, to honor it, I drove to work today. :)

Really, though, on Tuesdays and Thursdays I set up my "out of the office" appointments, and generally I just leave the Great White Turdus at work all week instead of driving in. This week there's some work I need to do to the Great White Turd(us) to get it in better running order, along with removal of some electronics and replacement of factory Ford electronics, so I can just leave it at work all the time. Truth be told, that'd be better all around, and would again eliminate the crutch of having it at home. Or maybe I'll do something different. Who knows.

What I do know, however, is that I can't summarize how good commuting via bike makes me feel. Menatlly, physically, just all over I'm positively affected by commuting via bicycle as opposed to vehicle. Today I'm off, find it hard to concentrate, my positive mood is eroding, my mellow harsh. Your results, of course, may vary but for me that's just how it is.

I guess, you know, I could be driving that thing. It even had a "fartpipe". I was really impressed, but wondered - seriously - about the sanity of the driver. I mean come on now.

Tomorrow I shall ride, Thursday I shall drive. There's a lot of things on my mind right now that I can't summarize.. maybe I'll go ride tonight to clear 'em up. I know after a nice ride everything just seems more.. real.

Ride your bike, it's good for your head.
