After taking a few walks and mapping out the area a little, I found a great way to get to work via bicycle. There is a pedestrian walkway (Embarcadero) along the bay and I always see folks biking, skating, and jogging along it. Yesterday, I took my bike on the train and then rode it for about a mile and a half along the shore. The ride was wonderful. It was about eight in the morning. The weather was cool and sunny. It only took me fifteen minutes to get to work - the same amount of time it takes me to ride the muni from the train station to my stop downtown.

I never rode my bike to work or school in Austin and I’d truly forgotten how fun it can be. Since the weather is so clear and pretty, I’ll probably take my bike to work more often. Danny thinks I should get a fold-up bike so we can throw our bikes in the car, drive up to San Francisco, and then cruise around the parks on our matching bikes. Even though that sounds dorky, I think it would be a lot of fun. Maybe we’ll even get matching jerseys and wraparound sunglasses…or maybe not.
