Rounding up my first full year of bike commuting...by driving to work for the first time in more than nine months.
The guy at the garage greeted me like an old friend. It was kind of nice. The downside is the large sum of cash I'll have to proffer at the end of the day to get my car back.
( The record, for the record. )
It felt good to give myself a little break today. My car is repaired and running well, I enjoyed the drive, and, in the words of Trisha at Let's Go Ride A Bike, "Every once in a while, I get in a rut where bicycle commuting seems as problematic as any other form of routine transportation. Over the past two years I’ve learned that if I start feeling that way, the best remedy is to not fight it. After a few days off the bike, riding it again feels like a new discovery or a special treat."
