New Wheels

Well it was bound to happen, my long time friend finally died last week. My Subaru legacy kicked the bucket at almost 250,000 miles. I could probably get it fixed, but it just isn't worth it anymore so I've decided to make a bit of a change. So this weekend I went out and picked myself up a new set of wheels. That's right, I'll be commuting on my bike for awhile. It's something I've done on a very infrequent basis, but have always wanted to do more often. So I figured this was the perfect opportunity to force myself to begin a regular bicycle commuting program for myself. I am not going to get a new car for a few months to get myself used to the ride in. Right now my ride is about 6 miles and takes me about 30 minutes (yes I'm a bit out of biking shape). Microsoft has a nice locker room with showers and lockers so that works out well. I have a full set of rain gear so I should stay nice and dry even in the wet Seattle weather.
