Well this lovely weekend I have been sick, so to speak, and barely able to work, let alone bike. So I was obligated to get a few rides Sunday. Today I'm enjoying the only day I might have off for months...at home with my mom, sis and nephew.
This turn of events has lead me to some more deep questioning (once again) of this bike decision. The bus stops early on Saturdays, and doesn't even run on Sundays and holidays. So how do I get to work on the weekend in winter? Holidays? How do I get involved in activities that might run past bus operation hours?
I have to admit I feel a little pent up in my apartment these days. The point of this exercise is to prove that anyone can choose a car-free lifestyle, regardless of what kind of city they live in.
The important thing here is to 1) face these fears one at a time and 2) prove the possibilities of a non-car lifestyle.
step1: find a hobby (not cycling)
step 2: find out how to get involved (outside my apartment)
step 3: figure out how to get there (not just by getting rides)
Next blog will be on this topic. Alas, I work more than 100 hours over the next two weeks plus a side project, so I might be busy with that.
