Today is the first official day of "Operation: Bike to Work". As of today I am supposed to bike to work unless I am really sick or it is really raining. The idea is that eventually I will be in better shape and at the same time I am helping the environment by not relying on my car for everything. The only problem is that it is ALL UPHILL. Both ways. Just like the route my father used to walk to school in the snow. :)
