Today was the Bay Area’s Bike To Work Day. I should know – I just recently designed SVBC‘s* two blogs.
So did I bike to work today? Sadly no. But I did bike to the convenience store from work to get myself a snack. I hope that counts. This is what I used, my trusty old folding bike:
Since we became a two-car household, I’m no longer “forced” to commute by bus, train and bike to and from work. But in order to get myself a little exercise now and then, especially that it’s warmer, I thought of lugging around my folding bike in whatever vehicle I’m driving, then use my bike on trips to nearby places to eat during lunchtime. It’s less distance than I’m used to but I’ll take whatever physical activity I can get. I’m still carrying my winter fat. *sigh*
*yup, the top-level domain site needs work. Its redesign is soon coming down the pipeline.
I like your folding bike Daniel. I initially wanted to get a xootr so I can follow the kids with their Razors. But after seeing this folding bike of yours, I think I’d rather get that instead. Link?
Buti ka pa winter fat lang. ako I’m still carrying around my baby fat. hahaha
Mine’s a Dahon bike (http://www.dahon.com). I believe they’re the largest manufacturer of folding bikes. Their models just get better and better every year.
As for the winter fat, I’m talking about fat I still have from Winter ’03, ok?
Hindi na yan fat, sebo na yan.
