Biking is very popular here. Two people I work with ride their bikes to work and one of them rides more than 17 miles each way. The Executive VP at Lesley's work also rides his bike to work and another VP rides his bike 17 miles each way.

I used a bike for a couple of semesters in college. I really appreciated how a 15 minute walk to class turned into just a couple minutes on my bike. Plus, it allowed me to go places that were too far to walk to.

I'm sort of interested in having a bike again. It would be better if Lesley had one, too. We could ride to places nearby to eat or shop or whatever. We could also ride it to and in the park. And, if I felt adventuresome enough, I could make the 6 mile ride to work on my bike. It would be faster than the bus and cheaper and healthier than driving.

I would probably avoid big hills for a while. I think it would be fun and it would be good exercise to have a bike. I'm just not sure how often I would want to ride it. And would I really want to ride it to work? I'm just not sure, but I am kind of interested, so we'll see what happens.
