I mentioned in <a href="http://www.bikeonomics.blogspot.com/2011/04/7-reasons-to-participate-in-30-days-of.html" rel="nofollow">a blog post about the reasons to take the 30 days of biking challenge</a> that it generally takes 66 days to form a completely automatic habit, so 30 days is a darn good start. I too am doing the 30 days of biking challenge (the biking part - I'm too lazy to do the blogging part also). Good thing we've had some nice weather in the Twin Cities lately!Cyrushttp://www.bikeonomics.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-23373463102156830282011-04-03T05:02:31.748-07:002011-04-03T05:02:31.748-07:00OK, I woke up this morning feeling all whiny becau...OK, I woke up this morning feeling all whiny because it is supposed to be a windy day, with sustained winds of 25 mph, which is windy enough by my standards to keep me off the bike. Pretty much every day here has wind--we think it is calm if it is only blowing 12 mph or so--but anything above 20 mph and I don't feel much like riding. <br /><br />But your post reminded me that things like rain and wind are just part of the fabric.Susan Tomlinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01532464326705599296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-17420485063061192182011-04-02T04:06:41.859-07:002011-04-02T04:06:41.859-07:00I hope that it's alright that I co-opt your wr...I hope that it's alright that I co-opt your write-up of the PBP 1999.

I said in my "why" portion: <br /><br />"Because I'm a very nervous biker, I'm afraid of cars and I have my own problems with anxiety and panic, and I think it would be great to get on the bike even for just five minutes a day." <br /><br />Guess I'll be out in the rain today!Sewbiwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14599681357489110041noreply@blogger.com
