Year End Commute Review

Been little over a year at the job, little over a year of saddling up at 7:10 every weekday morning. Had a few close calls, handful of angry drivers, couple dozen less than friendly words exchanged, bit of sign language here and there... All told, a good year of commuting; no injuries to report or serious bike problems, nothing too unsavory. It'd be great if I could report a dramatic decrease in the number of cars plugging the roads, especially considering the political climate, price of oil, and environmental impact but Americans are quite large, very selfish and exceedingly lazy so, oh, well.

The stats are good though, I clocked a little over 3600 miles purely on my rides to and from the office. Apparently this was enough to crown me the 'greenest' commuter at my organization. Woo go doe. I'm hoping for a little stiffer competition next year; considering that my commute of 6 miles each way really isn't very long there should be someone who could easily dethrone me. I hope so!
