| Commute_routes |
My route is from Brooklyn Center to downtown St. Paul, 1/3 on bike trails, 2/3 on roads. I ride every day rain or shine for 8 months of the year (winter is too great a challenge). |
| About_me |
I race triathlons so bike commuting gets my biking in, I then run and swim on my lunch hour (my wife and 3 kids hardly know I train even though I put in 3 hours per day). |
| Commute_story |
I have had 9 different work-to-home locations over the last 18 years (from 9 to 18 miles one-way) and have always found a way to bike, with the exception of one year where I drove because I worked only 1.5 miles away (it was too close to bother with biking). |
| Comments |
It takes me on average 55 minutes to ride 18 miles to work, driving takes 45 minutes and the bus takes 85 minutes. Biking is fun, cheap and pollution free; it's a shame more people are not aware of its benefits. I have written an article about it that will soon be published at www.thegreenguide.org - check it out. |
