Today's freezing rain - and the need to run some errands after work - forced me to break my streak of bike riding at 56 consecutive workdays - 112% of my goal. Until today, I hadn't driven to work since before Genevieve was born. The worst riding conditions were those of December 4, when it was -15 degrees with the windchill as I rode to work. Overall, I was pleased with how fun it was to bike to work. The 15 minutes of pedaling each day did wonders for my creaky knees, too: they don't pop and ache nearly as much as they did just before the streak. I look forward to beating this record in the New Year. Maybe we'll even get some snow to keep it interesting.
