It’s raining and I’m supposed to bike to work today. Between potholes and portly puddles I’m not sure I want to risk it.
I’ve been having fun biking again. As long as the temp is over 30 I can handle it. Well, I’ve gone colder but it’s not always that fun. My commute to work isn’t that long so weekends are when I like to go on bigger trips. Although my trip to the Chicago History Museum for Catholic Chicago was just under 20 mile, it was my first non-commute ride. And it was a blast!
The best part was leaving the museum and seeing this gas station …
Now that’s sobering to see. $3.79 — wow. I would really like to mothball my car for as much of the spring and summer as I can. It would help with the budget and, importantly, it would help the environment — which includes us too!

It’s great you get to cycle to work. I love to cycle but because of my back problem, it can be tough. I can’t believe how high gas is out in Chicago. It’s just around $3.00 here in NJ. We have high property taxes but some of the best gas prices in the country!
BTW, is that little icon above a self portrait? Very cute!
