Well ... I did it. I rode from downtown Charlotte to Stallings, NC. Two months ago, I never could have imagined it. I've been biking to the bus stop and then taking the bus in to town for about a month. However, this past Friday, I decided to give the entire commute a try by bicycle.
It only took about twenty minutes longer than my normal commute by car. Great exercise, especially coming up the hills on Randolph and Sardis Roads. Saved money - no wear and tear on the car. Lots of benefits! There were several extremely rude drivers that I apparently inconvenienced for three seconds, who showed me by honking the horn as they drove by. |
