My route is actually only about 5 miles on way, but I add miles going home to get extra ride time. |
| About_me |
I began riding in May of 2000 as a request by my doctor to lose weight. I told him that I was seeing him for what he could do for me, not what I could do for myself. At any rate, I had purchased a new bike the previous summer so I gave it a try and feel in love with it and been riding ever since. Have done some touring as a friend of mine took up the sport about the same time. |
| Commute_story |
I don't have too much to offer here. Most are run-of-the-mill types like getting buzzed by ignorant drivers or occasionally getting squeals by young girls. That is until they pass me and see my gray beard. |

In the commute frequency box above, you only offer year round and summer only. While I don't ride year round I do ride more than summer only. Generally, if the temperature is above 35 degrees and not raining, I will ride. Sometimes work restricts my riding. I still recieve ridicule for wearing spandex from my non-riding macho employees. |
