I bike to school and back every day, 5 miles at least, so yeah.

I love being on my bike... I feel so free. :)

3. I ride to and from school, too,
though not on the same day -- yet. I bring my bike on my car and ride home, leaving the car at work, then ride back the next day and bring the car and bike home. Then repeat on Wednesday and Thursday. Fortunately, I don't work on Fridays.

Welcome to the group! Do you plan to continue riding this winter? Since I live in Texas, I most likely will ride unless it's raining or extremely cold -- the latter doesn't happen that much. :)

5. I pretty much plan on every day
unless its raining. I dont want to take a chance with the brakes. then I take the bus to and from school. I like the buses here, they have a bike rack on them so I can take my bike home if it rains, and not have to leave it at school overnight.

6. It is easy....
I love the feeling, especially when I get to go down this nice hill... it just sucks having to go back up it again.

7. Ain't that the truth?
"Oh, well, now I get to pay for the fun I had coming DOWN this hill!" 40 MPH makes it worthwhile, though...

Welcome aboard!
