So, as carefully planned out weeks in advance, I began to ride my trusty mountain bike into work this week. So I converted to new pedals, bought a new lock, gave it a service call at the shop, and I was on my way!
15k each way - not enough for a real workout, but enough to keep my posterior in training.
Day One - went pretty well. Got into work at a decent time after visiting the gym for a shower (I had thought about a sponge bath in the office washroom - but for a variety of reasons
related to office etiquette decided against it). Got home in good time too!Day Two - started out pretty well - even managed to pick up the pace and get downtown faster.
Then came lunch . . . while on my way out to get a healthy, nutritious meal I walked past the bike posts where I had locked up in my front of my office at Yonge & Bloor and WHAMMO - no bike!
All I have left is the seat (I took it with me) - and a nice, new, neatly severed lock.
That's it - screw the environment - I'm going back to my Detroit made, gas guzzling, emission spewing, 8-year old SUV.
At least I still have my new road bike!
