I started with a heavy , steel made, mountain bike A>K>A the Tank :-)

Recently I got an end of the season deal on a great road bike
The ride is much more pleasant now :-) even in a 25F windy New York morning

I can NOT imagine not riding a bike
It’s pretty addictive :-)

I’m working on those excuses…

Thanks for reading and commenting. Mega congrats on being a 1 car family! It’s a hard jump to make (I’ll admit sometimes I even fall back on the car) but you feel great once it’s part of your life!

My husband started commuting by bike in July. Our budget for gas is now between $100-120 for every 2 weeks. I’m sure if I could pull a trailer on my bike for groceries, I could probably get it a little lower. We are a 1 car/ 4 bike family. :D
