I do love biking to work. Sure, it’s a bit of a hassle to pack and unpack my work clothes, and dealing with the traffic can be a pain, but the benefits of the ride far outweigh those minor inconveniences. I love showing up at the office with my lungs full of fragrant spring air. And it’s great to get through town in the morning to see what’s going on.
The absolute worst part about biking to work on a day like this (cool, gentle breeze, plenty of glorious sunshine) is getting off the bike. I just want to keep on riding past the office and give it a smug wave as I head on out to Amana for a bratwurst lunch and a fishbowl of that fine Millstream beer. Some morning I’m going to do it…you just watch.
