It's been going very well so far:<BR/>1. I've lost twenty five pounds.<BR/>2. I get to see a great many things that others don't on their daily commute (ie wildlife, scenery, etc.)<BR/>It's not all skittles and beer, though.<BR/>1. I struck a pedestrian coming off of the Ashley River Bridge going the wrong way on a one way. (She was jay-walking, but two wrongs don't make a right.)<BR/>2. My headlamp was broken and I decided to ride home anyway. I flipped over a HUGE piece of the roadbed that had been thrown out of the street and onto the sidewalk. (I was lucky not to flip into Folly Road.)<BR/>So stay Green, Sister, but stay safe. I've made sure to follow all the laws since those two mishaps, but let's hope everyone else does, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
