    I'm biking more

    By printans  |  Posted July 16, 2008  |  Grand Rapids, Michigan
     

     

    I've always had bikes and had been lusting for a recumbent the past couple years.  The day gas hit $3.45 I bought my 3 wheeled recumbent with a fairing.  They're manufactured just up the street from where I work.

     

     

    I've been commuting once or twice a week since spring.  I figure all those miles are helping me extend my fuel, I have to fill up less often than I used to.

     

     

    Most of my 17 mile route is rural, the last 4 miles are on city streets.  In the middle of my commute is the 2nd higest point in the county, it's time consuming to get up, but a rush on the way down!

     

     

    I'm saving gas, getting exercise and living life at a slower pace.  Now, can we get better bike lanes?!
