| A New and Cooler Lift to Work |
15 Aug |
Like most people, I drive to work each day. Unfortunately my work isn’t as close to my home as I might have liked, so I end up doing a thirty mile commute each way five times a week. The old Astro minivan doesn’t get horrible gas mileage, but it really adds up because of the sheer number of miles I am cranking out each and every week.
On the weekends I just like to get out on my motorcycle and ride. I love to do day trips; sometimes the day trips even turn into over nighters. It’s a little warm before I get out of the valley, but it is completely tolerable. Sometimes I ride with friends, other times it’s just me and the open road.
Then it dawned on me. Why am I driving the Astro to work when I could be riding the bike? The “cool” factor alone would be enough incentive. But add to that the fact that I get more than forty miles to the gallon on the bike, and I get to use the carpool lane which easily shaves ten or more minutes off of driving. I can’t believe I didn’t come up with that obvious idea sooner. Anyway, the Astro isn’t getting much use anymore.
