What was the experience like?  The morning ride woke my body up and after I cleaned up at work, I felt more focused to work thanks to the additional blood flow to my head.  The ride home was a bit more challenging as motorists are more in the me first mode.  They (motorists) were a bit more aggressive on the road but I never felt as if I were in any great danger.  The money savings on fuel consumption was a nice plus since my gas will stay in the tank a bit longer.

 

Do I think bike riding is a long term solution?  Yes, since I receive a work out and save on fuel.  I plan on structuring my week so I may be able to do bicycle riding as a regular mode of transportation.

 

In other parts of the world, a significant portion of the population uses bicycles as their primary form of getting around for work.  Those same cyclists are in better health than many who mash their feet on the gas and brake pedal to have the car do all the work.

 

With an upcoming physical, I want to see the effects on my overall health though a simple way to know is when I must begin buying pants with a smaller waist size.  I'm looking forward to it.
