Thursday night I left my car at work so I could attend a post-work happy hour. For me, there are no gray areas with having a drink and then driving later. If I have one drink, I won’t drive… maybe if I waited 3 hours but by then I’d be asleep. It may be overkill but there’s no room for me to make a dangerous mistake. And I was in the mood for a couple of drinks anyway. I arranged for Brian to pick me later. I would take the bus to work and retrieve my car on Friday.
My original plan had been to take the folding bike to work. Ride it or catch a ride to the restaurant and then have Brian pick me up. In the end I blew off the 5 minutes of planning required to make this happen and drove to work.
Friday morning, I dropped Brian’s car off for an oil change and caught the bus to work, where my car was waiting for me. The car place closed at 5 so I didn’t get a chance to pick it up Friday night. So this morning, I took the folding bike for what might be it’s inaugural ride. I’m not sure but I think it still had less than 10 miles on it.
It’s not fast but it’s really comfy. The wind was blowing but it was sunny out and above 40F so it felt awesome to me.
So it’s still only 3 miles for today’s 30 days of biking but it’s more than yesterday. Maybe I’ll get out again later.
This is amazingly easy to fold up. I could definitely see using this on public transportation.
