This morning I commuted to work by bicycle and everything went great, except for my forgetting my ID badge. It’s not a terrible task to get into the campus or buildings without my badge, but getting all the places inside of there which I need to go will make it a great hassle.<\/p>\n

The ride itself went rather well. I left at just about 7am. The sun had been up for a bit over 45 minutes, weather was great, westbound travel meant no sun in my eyes, no cars almost hit me, and one person even specifically stopped for me while I waited at a crosswalk along the Clinton River Trail<\/a>. With how few cars were out when I left, I can’t help but believe that early morning rides are simply better and safer traffic-wise.<\/p>\n

Yesterday I left some food (leftover Thai), a change of clothes, and my laptop at work, which meant that I didn’t have to carry much on my bike and could just duck into the bathroom to change. This worked well, but if I commuted on a more regular basis I’d prefer to carry clothes and food with me and possibly change in a conference room or unused office, as there’s something nice about not standing on a bathroom floor. I’ll also have to come back this weekend to pick up stuff if I’m want it before Monday. Unless I’m already out this way for other reasons it eliminates any cost savings \/ benefit gathered from cycling to work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
