I've been riding my bike a little bit in preparation for the challenge. I took it to the bike shop for a tune up and spent a couple dollars on Amazon on some gear. I bought a helmet, shorts, gloves, rain jacket, a rear light, and a bike lock.
I figure if i start riding my bike even somewhat regularly, i will recoup those costs by way of using less gasoline and better health.
The ride to work is only 2 miles one-way but the journey there is quite a climb. I come home for lunch, so i will be forced to tackle that hill twice per day unless i chose to take public transit.
Public transit and hitching rides is acceptable, i just won't be driving.
The fun begins tomorrow!
