Biking to Work

A guy I work with started biking to work recently, and I thought I should give it a try. My commute would only be about 6 miles, which is about a third of my friend's commute. Biking would save me money on gas & parking, and would also be good exercise. I was actually discussing all this with Katie right before we saw this on The Office:


I haven't started yet because I don't have a bike, but I'm going to buy a Motobecane Elite from bikesdirect.com, so hopefully I'll be able to start in a week or two. It's been about 15 years since I've really done any biking, so this should be interesting. I'll keep you posted. If anybody has any pointers for me, I'd be interested in hearing them.

I'm buying you a basket. And tassles for the sides if you are really lucky.

I think you should get a horn.

Hey, you need to blog more. I think there is an update necessary here.

I'm just going to ignore Katie's comments :P

Kara, I'm not sure if you're serious or giving me a suggestion like Katie's. If it's serious, I'll give it some thought. :)

Oooh and some of those beads that slide around on the spokes and make clicking sounds when you go!...i loved those...

Thanks Krissy, yet another good idea, as long as the beads on the spokes won't interfere with the baseball cards.
