Driving the Route

Tomorrow is supposed to be my first day as a bicycle commuter. Which means that today was preparation day. My man showed me how to lock up my bike with a u-lock, we ordered a new bicycle helmet (mine is from 1996), and we spent at least twenty minutes discussing the safest route.

In case that wasn't enough, we drove the route to look for what I fondly call "treacherous sections." You would think I wouldn't have to worry about treacherous sections in ptown with all the bicycle lanes. But since I can't get into the lefthand turn lane yet without falling over or panicking, it doesn't take much for me to declare a particular turn or gap in the bike lane "treacherous."

I think I'm ready... as long as I don't wind up with a flat...
