Ending the 100% streak

darkemeraldsI've maintained my 100% bike commute streak from November to this past Tuesday by three principal means:
But this past week, with the training schedule from hell, number 2 there didn't apply--I was too sick to ride on Tuesday, but I had to come to work anyway, so I rode the bus both ways.
Back in October and November I was still a little worried about backsliding and giving up, but that doesn't seem to be a risk now. I just like riding my bike too much. I'm not super hard-core: if it's icy out, I won't ride, and I might not opt for it on a really hot, smoggy August day either. My 95% month makes that okay.
Training is done (hallelujah!) and as soon as I wind up a few things here, I'm off to start May in style: with a nice ride on Eleanor O to the grocery store, and then home for four-day weekend.
- I had fortuitously scheduled vacation days the three days it snowed in December
- If I'm too sick to ride, I'm too sick to work, and I'm lucky to have a job that generally agrees with this stance
- I'm highly demotivated to take any other form of transportation
