However, I don&#8217;t like to ride my bike on everyday errands.</p> <p>I was reminded of this today when I got new tires for our car. Like usual, I threw my bike in the back and rode home after dropping off the car. It isn&#8217;t far, about 2.5 miles, but I was hot and sweaty when I got home. I was smart this time and brought a piece of string to wrap around my pant leg. Usually I forget this and wind up getting chain oil on my pant leg.</p> <p>When the car was ready, I rode back to the shop to pick it up, and I was a bit tired.</p> <p>So it certainly worked out fine to ride my bike, but it isn&#8217;t something that I would normally do. Also, for the same reasons, I don&#8217;t think we can expect many Americans to forgo their cars and start doing a lot more bike riding either. Good thing I have my electric scooter to scoot around on!</p> Tue, 12 Feb 2008 12:30:00 -0800 urn:uuid:0764f0a5-a171-49ba-9e3a-f9260506612c Max Dunn http://blog.maxdunn.com/articles/2008/02/12/bike-riding-for-errands Random Thoughts Electric Vehicles Global Warming Peak Oil <p>I could not agree with you more. It should give me the daily cardio i need, riding my bike to work. Though I wish the air could be warmer, but windy. That&#8217;s the perfect bike weather.</p> Wed, 13 Feb 2008 07:05:59 -0800 urn:uuid:ee05f53e-3612-41cd-8797-64976624baa4 http://blog.maxdunn.com/articles/2008/02/12/bike-riding-for-errands#comment-512 <p>No, bike won&#8217;t do for errands, especially if you&#8217;re buying lots of stuff. There&#8217;d be no room to put your purchases.</p> Wed, 13 Feb 2008 01:23:33 -0800 urn:uuid:2bb688aa-94b4-403a-862e-6e13e4e52f77 http://blog.maxdunn.com/articles/2008/02/12/bike-riding-for-errands#comment-510
