I went car-free last Nov., and enjoy biking even more! :) <BR/><BR/>I bike commute because it's peaceful and has no stress. It's challenging some days (high winds, heavy rains, snow/sleet/ice). But then there are great days when I have a wonderful tailwind, see the moon shining over the Potomac River at night, seeing wildlife along the way, seeing beautiful sunrises/sunsets. It's A TON better than taking the subway, where you pay for cramming on trains that are delayed and break down, hearing other people on their cell phones and other conversations, etc. On my bike, I can whistle, sing, hum, and it doesn't bother anyone. I can run errands on the way to and fro. The list is endless.... :)<BR/><BR/>CharmaineCharhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15202026725180204624noreply@blogger.com
