Bike to Work Week -- part one

I woke up late this morning and almost did not ride.  It was windy and raining.  I would have to put the hammer down if I wanted to make it to school today.  I decided to go anyway.  Even though the weather was crap, I was glad I did.  My students notice that when I do not ride, I am in a bad mood.  Here's an honest to goodness conversation I heard in the hall a while back:


"Mr. Logue drove today."
"Awww man, he's going to be in a bad mood...  Everyone be quiet, Mr. Logue drove today."

Today was one of the days that would put anyone in a bad mood.  I can only imagine what it would have been like without the stress buster of riding to work.

I'm not sure the reason, but I saw three additional commuters today.  I am happy to see you.  I hope you stick with it.

Answer - Gas prices. It trumps patriotism every time.

I think so. $4.00 gas has hit mid-America. It's no longer just one of those west coast liberal things.
