bike commute 5.19-20.10

[gorgonzola]

decided to give the bike commute a go for Bike to Work Week. picked a route with the help of google maps and set off. I usually need my car during the day so I left it at work and rode home last night, back in this morning - 20 miles each way in an hour and a half averaging 14 mph. pretty nice ride with alot of scenery typical of the agro/industrial history of the lehigh valley pa

covered bridge

some nice barns

about a third or so was on the nor-bath and ironton rail trails

cement then

and now

russian churches with blue mt on the horizon

fun ride - have to make it a semi habit

Nice work dude. I try to ride in twice a week and I do about a 20 mile route as well. It can be a pain to get clean clothes and food in the days before and get the dirty ones home, but once you're in the routine it's not bad.

Very nice! It's a goal of mine to be able to bike commute to work at some point. I need to be in better shape first, and then a bike that's actually suitable for road use.

I'd love to bike commute...Showers..or lack of one in my office and I think there are some bicycle restrictions on some of the bridges...but I could take the long way...

Nice! I miss being close enough to work to ride my bike.
