First bike commute of 2009

Rusty meets the other bikes.

After a failure on Monday morning to get on the bike to get to work, we succeeded on Tuesday.

Happily the sun rose above the horizon just as we arrived at the semi-snow-covered bike parking for work.

We promised ourselves that dry winter roads means biking to work. We live by the rule that slush is bad for bikes... but dry roads mean riding the bike.

Looking at last year's calendar, we started our daily bike commuting at the end of March.
