In an effort to be more Earth-friendly and save $10 a week, I've decided to borrow my girlfriend's purple and silver Diamondback mountain bike to use for transportation. The distance from my apartment to the school is 6 miles exactly. Well, thinking back to the days where I rode 20+ miles a day and sometimes more than that, I figure this would be a nice little relaxing bike ride.............WRONG.
I start by going up a very gradual gentle uphill and coast down hill to the stop sign and turn.....Go over a viadock with no bike route and pray to god drivers behind me are paying attention and turn at the next road.......upward hill with no down hill to look forward to....cross over to the left traffic lane to turn left or wait for 5 minutes to get across 2 crosswalks.....hills hills hills hills hills, however! there is a bike route and right before the biggest hill, the bike route ends, so i turn.......then finally flat easy road, but by this point i'm so exhausted it feels just as bad as the hills...on more turn and I'm finally there.
WORST. BICYCLE. RIDE. EVER.
Although, on the brightside, I will be in great shape, improving my heart health, saving the environment from that much more pollution, and I don't have to worry about traffic except at that stupid viadock....
btw hippie, wanna go for a bike ride around A2?
