Ok, ok, ok, it's not high-fashion...but I'm really proud of riding home yesterday (7 miles) in my work clothes, so what you see here are the boots, moto pants, and drapey shirt that I wore at work. it made getting on the bike after work so much easier. Thankfully you can't see the perspiration from this angle, heehee. New route today: 8th ave, slow and slightly inclined for some burnTotal mileage 14 (bike: Giant) --Bee

I simply don't believe that you sweat that much more than me. Maybe I'm just kind of dirty and ok with a little dried sweat? In any event, I'm glad you rode home that way. Makes the whole thing so much easier, doesn't it? No having to stop and change on both sides of both directions.

Did you get your bike painted? I don't remember it being black.

And yes, it was tons easier not to have to stop and change, I'm sure that adds ~10 minutes to the whole thing

Bee is a semi-faux bicyclist: during the warmer months she gets her %$#@ together for the 14-mile commute to work. But on average she only bikes about 10% annually (in her head it’s 50%). Her first commuting bike was a knock-off Trek. Her second commuter bike, the Newmar motor coach of bikes, is a Giant electric. She's going with a Cannondale road bike for the STP. Bee plans to get in STP survival mode with a combo of cycling, tennis, and running.

While V has tons of wonderful bike memories ranging from her second-hand Schwinn with the green banana seat to her beloved electric commuter bike, and loves that they've taken her everywhere from the mall to Belgium, she's never rode more than 20 miles at a time and is kind of terrified that she's signed up for 205+.
