Commuting by Bike
Two > Four
I started riding my bike to work in May, 2006 after seeing the Kansas City Commuter Challenge. It’s week-long challenge to folks to commute to work via bicycle. I rode the six miles each way from Waldo to Overland Park three days that week. It was really easy. In fact, the hardest part was figuring out the logistics–what to wear, how to pack clothes in a bag, what route to take, etc–which is really only as hard as packing a suitcase.
I kept riding after the “official” week was over. Turns out it’s really fun. A couple months later I moved from Waldo to Downtown KC, making the trip closer to 16 miles. I’m still riding with a goal of 2 - 3 trips a week depending on my schedule and the weather.
