I work with some willing cats. Recently, I found out that yet another person in our office is making the effort to commute occassionaly by bike.
My loose theory is that people need to see it's possible. Incubation then takes place. Most will always think it's crazy, but some will keep the idea in some safe corner of their mind. "Maybe on nice days, I'll pay less for gas, it will help me get in shape... " At some point, a few will give it a go. If that happens, anything is possible.
A once is a while cyclist is better than an all the time driver.
Latest tale of the tape:
Two Indy Fabs purchased.
One Kona purchased.
Four Tour Registrations (maybe more).
Seven sometime commuters (Out of 47 people).
Spring is here. Time for number 8.

I biked to work until October or November last year. I thought I would try to commute at least one day each month but... how does Mr. Snob say it. I did not have the chops.
When the weather warmed a few weeks ago, I jumped back on the bike. I should be able to bike 3 times per week. My schedule does not allow for more daily commutes. It should in the summer.
For some reason, the reflectors and lights took a beating from last season. I need to replace them. If anyone wants to recommend a light for and reflector, please let me know.
theres about 4 other people than me that will occasionally commute at my place of work. that makes me happy. the only difference is it is the exception for them and the rule for me. i think its funny when people say, its a nice day to bike. my usual response is, everyday. there are certainly occasions when i have to drive for work, but other then that the bike has always made me feel more self sufficient.
