Biking... yep I am doing this now and I feel better
but also that means our truck stays parked five to six days a week, and hubby takes the hybrid to work

Just remember, pace yourselves if you go this way and be careful out there

And it goes without saying, do not ride at night or in the rain if you can avoid it

1. Me too, me too!
It is scary though, isn't it? You know, cause there's still a lot of them big cars running around. I wish there was some way to free up some of that road space for us cyclists. More than just a skinny lane on the side of a road. And more bike racks, too.

3. That may come
Today I actually looked at the car tracking, to see how far that bookstore was... I had to go in that direction to pick meds after the doctor... that was five miles.

The rack was empty when i got there yesterday

And yes I drive the car ONLY when I absolutely need it and I try to keep as many errands together as I can

2. That's weird
My husband and I just start biking again, too. I started a job where I work at home in March and so I've been saving lots of money on commuting to work. So we decided to get back on our bikes and see if we can save even more.

And like you said, I feel much better, too!!
