Biked 1000 miles.
I noticed this morning when I uploaded 8 tracks to Motionbased that I’ve apparently passed the 1000 miles ridden point, almost 1100 miles. If I ride in 4 times a week on average, then I’ll come pretty close to 1500 miles for the first year of bike commuting to work.
I’ve also lost around 40-45 lb over those miles, although dieting had a lot to do with it. I’m definitely in better shape, and I definitely have a lot more defintion in my legs than I did before. I also have some really weird tan lines, especially on my feet since I usually wear sandals when riding.
Overall I’m pretty happy with bike commuting. It takes about twice as long to get to work (30min vs an hour, with showering), but it’s still a lot faster than going to the gym, plus it’s a lot cheaper overall.
