In fact, the best part for me is that in the morning the bike path is pretty quiet - and it ends up being a really good opportunity for me to clear my head. And then - when I get to work, I'm focused and ready to start the day!

It was 3 miles each way, and we generally got there faster in by bike than we would have in the car. We managed to make a tank of gas last a month, two months in a row! Let me tell you, that was exciting! Once we upgrade from our mountain bikes to road bikes, we'll notice a world of difference and be able to use our bikes even more frequently. This semester, studying abroad in Ireland, we have been forced to take public transportation or walk everywhere. It is so convenient to have everything located nearby so that we can walk to it. It has also been quite an eye-opener about how often we would jump into the car for very short drives. We'll do much better once we return home! <abbr><em>Matthew’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/adventure-some/~3/aX6klkb4_mE/" rel="nofollow">The Chocolate Follow-Up</a></abbr></em> My wife and I spent last semester bicycling to and from both school and work.

One of the issues here is the sheer size of the city, with over 6,400 miles of surface streets, only 481 miles have bike lanes. But, work continues via efforts like this event. @ Lisa I love what some smaller towns are doing with bike trails.

I love my bike – and when weather permits (that snow thing here…) – I ride regularly to work (spring through fall). It’s great exercise, great for the environment, and great for me to get out on the bike paths and let the quiet in…

So, I happen to agree with you – this sounds like an awesome event!!

And that you met a real, live blogger – how cool is that!
