Biking to work

The toy says 3.25 miles at an average of 11.9 mph, about 16 minutes in motion. That's not terrible; it's certainly faster than any other means of transportation I have immediate access to, and time-competitive with driving, even. I've finally figured out the right way to climb the little hill along Temple Rd. between Mystic Ave. and Broadway: if you work up enough speed pulling out of the traffic light, the hill is pretty short and you don't have to slow down too much to make it all the way up. I haven't decided yet whether I should bike in traffic on McGrath heading home or not; it does wind up being the obvious thing to do, though.
