After having to put the old 90 Taurus wagon to sleep, I took stock of the
situation:
I only drive to work a few days a month due to raining in AM, working late,
carrying suitcase, or a broke bike. I admitted these can easily be
addressed with extra dry clothes, tires and tubes at work, extra light, bike
trailer, and keeping one of my other bikes ready to go. My wife still has
her car for all the shopping and stuff, so I can borrow it for the rare
non-commuting solo trip. It was also October 1st.
Besides, I knew that my statement about supporting our troops (like me)
means sacrifice, not stickers would be stronger if I actually dumped my car
and biked every single workday for a year or more instead of just 9 out of
10 days or so. Interesting how doing something that millions of Europeans
and Asians don't think anything of is some kind of big challenge and
statement to a Yank.
