My friend sent me a link this morning to a diagram about bike commuting … pretty amusing but also pretty true about bike commuting…. we suffer through the summer and winter for a few brief glorious days (intermixed with downpours) in the spring and fall …
And if you’re curious about my little “experiment” – results will be forthcoming

Is your experiment still biking to work on a daily basis?

I am comparing the differences in riding to work and driving using a GPS w/heart rate monitor to see actual numeric differences. See http://gobybikechallenge.wordpress.com/2011/10/18/experiment-in-progress/

Great idea! I’ve been riding daily for the past three months. I’ve shaved my commute time down to 17 minutes. Good luck on your experiment. It will be good to see what happens! Here’s my post: http://www.chipoglesby.com/2011/10/celebrating-two-months-car-free/
