TGIF! Today is Bike to Work Day!!!
Don’t worry, so is Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, yada yada yada!
Anyway, Happy Friday to everyone! I’m at Starbucks below my studio right now. Jenny, bless her little heart, gave me a little travel french-press mug so that I don’t have to buy coffee anymore! After reading The Millionaire Next Door, I have decided to see where I can cut some un-necessary expenses. I realized that my average spending on coffee drinks has been somewhere around $140 bucks per month! Wow! On Coffee??? So I got some cheap coffee grounds and now I just get hot water at starbucks and I guess this means that I owe Jenny $1680.00 because that’s how much I’ll save this year on Starbucks! I have been cutting other expenses, too. I used to go to Smoothie King after every work out and spend $6 on protein smoothies, so that’s another $864 a year! It’s been really fun seeing where I can cut corners, but Sunday is MY day and that’s when I go nuts and I eat out and have a really fun time!
Every Sunday is like a holiday and Saturday night I am giddy just like how we felt on Christmas Eve as kids. I get to feel that way every week! 
I have also saved some good $$ by riding my bike everywhere: to work, to get groceries, out to bfast on Sundays, everywhere! But that’s not really why I do it. I love the way I feel, traveling on bicycle. I get to work in the AM with some color in my skin. I am in a great mood and ready to get some things done! When I come home, same thing - I’m refreshed and totally ready for a cocktail and be with my family! (Jenny and Gary!).
Now that it’s Spring, I feel a sort of obligation to share my passion for bike commuting. No, I’m not some sort of hippy. I just want to share with others what really keeps me happy! Here are some quck benefits of riding:
1. Fresh air and sunshine. We all need it. Growing up, my mom was a real stickler. If the sun was out and she found me watching TV, she would turn that thing off so fast and MAKE me go out side. She had a zero tolerance to that. I never understood why she did this, but it’s funny how 20 years later I really start to appreciate her for that. Thanks mom!
2. Excersize. We need that, too.
3. Fun! Going to work is a blast for me. How many people who drive to work can say that?
4. Good for your relationship! Take your significant other on a bike ride this weekend to the local cafe’. Jenny and I did this last Sunday and she did not want to come home. I was so happy, and so was she. She even told me it was one of the best days she felt we had spent together. Wow! (NOT recommended - the Tandem Bike. That sounds like a nightmare to me)
5. No traffic. Stay in the neighborhood streets for safety and forget about the stop-and-go.
6. (FREE) Parking! I can park anywhere, while others are driving around blocks endlessly looking for a place to park… then they have to pay.
There are a million more reasons. Here’s a video I made this morning on my way to work to show you how great it is! (not to mention some good acting when I act like I am in a car!)
Have a great weekend!

KaPOW!
Remember when you got hit by a car?
April 18th, 2008 at 11:42 am
I would love to ride my bike to work. Hmmmm… How can I do this. I have to drop Macie off at daycare, and I work 15 miles away. Then I show up to work stinky? And so I need to bring a change of clothes. And then 15 miles home, pick up Macie. I WISH it was practical for me, I really do. You make it look very serene

Kat - Yes I do remember. That was before I learned a valuable lesson of avoiding busy streets. Now I spend more time in neighborhoods, on the Cherry Creek bike path, and through parks. Much safer than riding on Alameda!
And here’s a solution to your problem: http://www.bicycletrailers.com/Dreamer-Design-Exec-Lite.pro?source=smarter&kw=101671RED000000&zmam=6024774&zmas=5&zmac=34&zmap=101671RED000000
and a solution to your getting to work stinky:

That will help you freshen up enough. You won’t be as stinky as you might think.
April 18th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
WOW!!! Those spankings from Mom, Dad and the stanger lady who picked you up when you were driving your push-petal car in the middle of the street when you were four REALLY had a lasting effect!
April 18th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
I ride my bike to work every day too…I work from home so it is really easy…but not so invigorating.
April 18th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
You are so right about bike riding, I love to do it in the spring time. When I get home I feel like my whole body is awake and ready for anything. plus, its great exersise, keep it up!
April 18th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
dude. slow down you are flying!! man, i am so jealous. i wish i could commute to work.
i will never give up coffee and refuse to drink crap coffee. i stick to the black stuff though around $2 bucks a cup. every now and then i treat myself to a frappalappamochachino.i know some really good coffee spots in chicago for when you roll back into the windy city.
later.

I walked a stroller and supervised 3 little bikers back and forth, and back and forth, and back and forth to the park today. I need to get a backseat for my little guy so that I can be biking again!

Hey Mark!! Thanks again so much for inspiring me to ride my bike more!! (Peeps, this morning Mark surprised me outside of my favorite coffee place - Great Harvest, they have Vail Mountain Roasters for $1 a cup! and you can even get a sample slice of fresh bread for free if you time it right! - anyhoo, this morning was my first morning ride. I rode for about an hour, and when I pulled up for some hot c - there was MARK, right outside the door with coffee in hand for me! He was on his bike too, of course - and I felt like the luckiest girl in the world!) Thanks, babe! xoxo
