The best thing about riding a bike is that it gets you to A to B...and C and D, etc. It sounds simple, but I think some people forget that a bicycle is a legitimate means of transportation--it's not just something you "do" for a workout.
Here is an example of a bike-filled day: fun, function and l'effort physique combined.
I started by day by running some errands before work.
On my actual commute, I spotted this awesome pink BMX! Thanks to Alex, for letting me take this picture and for rocking an awesome pose.
I made it to work, but forgot to take photo. Oops. Insert imaginary picture of my bike locked at a ring and post stand here.
It was a Farmer's Market Day, so I offer you a picture of some lovely pumpkins instead.
Later on, I made my way over to a community meeting.
To get there, I made a point of trying a "bike lane only" route (something I can't do for when I ride to work). My impressions on this day: while I appreciated that the painted white line meant that I didn't have to worry as much about the cars driving on my left, I was even more preoccupied with watching out for cars moving in and out of the bike lane to park, as well as the bus, which also weaved in and out of the bike lane to pick-up and drop-off passengers.
In any case, I got there early and spent a bit of time drooling over a couple of very snazzy racing bikes.
Plus tard, SerialJay showed up and Murdoch had to join in as well.
At the end of the evening, SerialJay was starving since he arrived straight from work. So off we went for some casual French fare (évidemment): moules-frites et crêpes.
Et voilà, à vélo from A to Z and from day to night.
