When I first got a bike I thought it would be cool to be able to ride to my production meetings on occasion. There were two problems with this: A) they are often at night, and in the dark; and B) my bike, weighing 42 pounds, would not be big fun with the bazillion hills.
BUT thanks to the generosity of my sister, and the awesomeness of her bike... AND because we were able to reschedule our meting time - today I rode to the meeting and back!
Being a little lazy, I chose a route that I thought might be longer (1 mile) but would be not as hilly. Little did I know it did NOT have a bike lane, nor any room to speak of. Also, no matter which direction I was going in, it was into the wind. (15-20 mph wind, it turns out.) so it took me over 30 minutes to arrive.
On the way home I decided to go with the more direct route and it took 15 minutes. More hills: yes. Less scary: yes.
I have one more route to try next time. Maybe a happy medium?
