Biked to work!

[dmaze]

I took advantage of the above-freezing temperatures yesterday to actually bike into work for the first time since, well, I worked at MIT. This worked out pretty well; at just over 3 miles, the trip took 25 minutes, time-competitive with the bus but not requiring careful synchronization. On the route I took it was probably faster than driving in rush-hour traffic. And they've converted a couple of parking spaces in the garage into a locked bike cage, with five or so ordinary bike racks inside, which converts to "lots of parking".

Now, if I can (a) get my bike research/shopping done and (b) increase my bicycle carrying capacity I'll be set...

Definitely clipless pedals. SPD-alikes are getting cheap, too.

Especially useful if you're commuting through a lot of traffic lights. You beat the cars through.
