...or at least trying to! This week is the first warm week we've had (or are supposed to have) in the the South. Which is exciting because that means that Spring is on it's way. To celebrate the warmer weather, I decided to make a change in the way I commute to work. I have to preface this with the fact that I work about a mile from my house. So, I actually have one of the best commutes in the world.
If you've followed my blog for awhile, you may remember that I purchased a bike off Craigslist last Summer. I gave it a good fix up and now she works great! So, with my bike and short commute, I decided to start biking to work rather than driving. Today was the first day that there wasn't snow/rain in the forecast so I felt as though I could give it a try. Thankfully, while the roads to work are busy, they are wide, so I felt pretty comfortable with the cars around me. All in all, a pretty good experience that i'd do again!
I'm excited to keep biking to work as much as I can and am going to start to look for other ways to commute rather than taking my car (I can walk as well, but that would require getting up earlier ;) ). I also want to look at other ways that I can decrease my carbon footprint.
