Commuting by bike

My commute home yesterday (by car) took 37 minutes. It's the second time it has taken over 35 minutes to get home. This is noteworthy because my slowest commute by bicycle is 35 minutes. There is no more miserable feeling that realizing that not only would commuting by bike be better for me and better for the planet - and faster.

So of course I took the bike this morning -- and paid for it with a flat tire. This is self inflicted because I was riding the a carbon wonderbike with handmade $60 tires instead of my steel commuter bike with it's bulletproof wheels and tires. I'll be back on the steel bike tomorrow.
