| Commute_routes |
75% of my daily commute is on the local roads while the remaining 25% is on the Pinellas Trail. I truly enjoy using the trail since it has a much smoother surface, water founatins, overpasses at dangerous intersections, and is well patrolled and maintained by the Park Department. I would love to have more trails to use. Trails encourage commuters to seriously consider bicycles as an alternative form of transportation. |
| About_me |
Male, mid 30's, work in the healthcare industry, father of 5 year old daughter.I volunteer and donate to an assortment of bicycle related causes (such as Rails to Trails, and the American League of Bicyclists. I also give away maps of the Pinellas Trail, locks, water bottles, lights, tubes, sunscreen, bandages, poor directions (well, I am a male after all!), etc etc to fellow cyclists and local kids. |
| Commute_story |
I have enjoyed cycling throughout my lifetime from the newspaper route I had as a young child in South Miami through to the 20 years of living in rural areas of Northern Colorado, right through to the last 7 years of using bicycles as my only form of transportation for commuting to work, running errands, doing chores, shopping, recreational use, etc.etc. |
