Happy Earth Day
Happy Earth Day to everybody. To celebrate, I’ll finally be doing my first commute to the office. Apologies in advance to my co-workers.

WHAT? I figured you’d been commuting for several months, at least! Some myths should not be dispelled…

Sorry for the mislead Steve,
As much as I would love to commute every day, my job has me working long and odd hours. Since the commute is slightly longer than I would like, I would never see my family.
The bulk of my riding is for pleasure and on my time (which doesn’t occur very often). That’s why I’ve been so eager to get the kids riding. It’ll be a great way to have both family time and riding time.

Second point, why are you apologizing to your co-workers? Are they all bike commuters and you are the last one to slip into the fold? Are they congenitally hostile towards cyclists? Inquiring minds want to know!

I was only apologizing to my co-workers because we don’t have a shower facility at work. I’m afraid they had to put up with my sweaty smell all day long. Most are cool about it and those that aren’t keep their distance.
It’s only a big deal when I have to meet up with clients – which wasn’t happening today.
