Bike to work week

This week I biked to work every day. My trusty old bike took me there and back. It was refreshing and invigorating to breathe the cool morning air, to feel the wind on my face, and the sun in my eyes. It always felt like being on a scooter (like when I was in Taiwan) when I went down the hills. It's great for the body, good for the planet, and good for my wallet (no gas to spend!).

Here's part of my bike route:


Originally, I took a route which was much more difficult (hills) and longer than my current route. I decided to try a new way, and found it was not only easier but shorter. It's almost the perfect route because it's just long enough to give me some exercise but not to tire me out too much. With all the lights in my favor, it takes about 15 minutes. I ride on the side walks.

I cross over the highway. As I bike over, I sometimes slow down and watch the cars go by. As it gets darker, the white and red lights streak by.
