Today, I got out on the good ol’ trike for an early Saturday morning bakery delivery, switched to the ANT and headed out to Jamaica Plain to deliver some groceries and books. My route took me on a pleasant tour of Boston and so much more. What did I do when I finished my 13.6 mile route? I switched bicycles once again and took off on another tour around north metro Boston. I guess thats what you do when you love to ride. So now with tired legs I sip my evening coffee and I write about some of the happenings of my day while out on the job. I just decided to map out my entire ride and I found out I rode 44.6 miles. Take that, gas! So now that I’ve found out how many miles I just rode today, I think about the amount of cars on the roads and how we as Americans have come to rely entirely on them for our everyday routines. So, If you are a consistent driver for those everyday tasks, I urge you to look here and when those gas prices start to skyrocket, go collect your oil here. It seems like there is plenty to go around. I apologize, but I am just frustrated with the current environmental disaster, the root of all of its evil and the lack of attention it is getting from us. I know I rely on oil in some shape and form and the energy it supplies, but I am proud to say when I find a better alternative, I take it. I am going to finish my ramblings with some great things I saw today: road sign names that reminded me of enjoyable moments from my past; The Arboretum; Middlesex Fells Reservation; fresh baked creations from good people; and finally, the coffee to bring it all together and one that reminds me there are great things happening out there in the world.  Now go ride a bicycle!
