Today marked my first trip biking to work. I figured I would try to follow through with the no load bearing by converting my pedestrian commute to a biking commute. Whoa! Boy, was that an experience and a half! The best part was that I live at the top of a hill. So, the entire way to work was downhill – Wheee!!!
However, the cars on the road are scary. There were taxis parked on my right (hello open door!), cars driving on my left, and little ol’ me on my bike. At least I had a helmet – HA! I was so high strung that I felt like if someone had plucked me I would’ve hit a high c.
Then, I pulled up next to the cop – OMG! Could this get anymore stressful – oh, yes, the left turn into the school. My oh my, how would I make it home? Not only is it up hill the entire way, but traffic would be much more concentrated.
Problem solved, I got a ride 🙂
I know, I know. I totally took the easy way out, but I got home safe. Plus, my foot is still feelin’ fine.
