I've turned a corner this month, somehow. My biggest challenge has been paying attention to recording my mileage, etc., because under the tremendous influence of the last few months' bicycling challenge, getting around exclusively by bike has become the norm, without my having to think much about it. This is FANTASTIC, and I thank you all for it. I don't have much daily travel in terms of distance, it's true. But it's also true that because I'm on my bike I'm much less likely to go gallivanting all the hell over the place. Totally fine with me.
This past week, when several people have said to me, "What are you, nuts? It's too cold to bike," I simply chuckled. I am perfectly warm moving about on my sweet short bike ride, in a way I would not be if I were sitting in my car for that same short ride. If anything, I try to add more mileage to my ride, to make the most of being out and about in this time of Winter that can feel so limiting. So, thank you, thank you.
