I finally got my act together and have rode the 2-2.5 mile commute to work on my bike the past 2 days. Cool morning temperatures and a short ride don't really require much in the way of gear so my backpack remains fairly light. In fact since I do a majority of it on the sidewalk, I even forgo the helmet. I'll have to see how long I can keep up the riding but so far it's no big deal. I can make it to and from the office in about 15 minutes and I figure I save about $1 in gas each day.
Ideally, I'd love to do this as much as I can. The trip is so short, I could do it well into the cold fall.
