Because I already bike to work.

So, I joined the 2009 Commuter Challenge at work on Saturday. I didn’t join last year, or the year before, etc. because I already bike to work 95% of the time, when there’s no snow anyway. Basically, I already do it, so why sign a piece of paper? But, this year… this year I didn’t get to say “No, thanks” to the 40yr old woman. Nope. Instead, I was faced with that woman’s 10yr old daughter, so I ended up caving with an “Ok, why not” instead.  That’s a cheap stunt right there – getting the young generation to guilt ya, heh. *chuckle*

As much as I’d dig winning a prize, I’ll feel a little guilty if I do, since I’m not actually changing my (already decent) transportation habits, and the whole point is to get people thinking of ways they can change their habits, right?

  • Hey, whatever. If you’re awesome, why not enter the Awesome Contest and be a shoo-in?

    I would love to bike to work, but I’m nervous about the getting-there-sweaty thing. How do you clean up/change clothes when you get there? I’m also nervous about biking on two-lane streets next to cars.

    My transportation habits would probably make the 10 yr old girl cry…

    Wow, good for you for biking so much already. =] I say, who cares if you compete and win or something… XD They solicited you to give it a whirl, so if you happen to kick butt, then *shrugs* no skin off your teeth. That’s my line of thinking anyway; hehe. ^^
