After many years of talking, I finally rode my bicycle to work this morning.\u00a0 After all, it is KC Bike Week<\/a> you know.\u00a0 So, at least for one day, I went from 70 mpg on the scooter to none at all.\u00a0 Oh yeah, reduced that carbon footprint way down there.\u00a0 I took off from the house (late as usual) around 6:45 this morning.\u00a0 I haven’t exactly been training very hard for this little experiment, so luckily Family Bicycles<\/a> was hosting a rest break at Gregory & Wornall.\u00a0 Had a nice little snack break and chatted a bit, gave me a chance to catch my breath.\u00a0 Nice Lady:\u00a0 “So, do you bike to work much?”\u00a0 Fat Phil:\u00a0 “No, first time.”\u00a0 Nice Lady:\u00a0 “How far have you been this morning?”\u00a0 Fat Phil:\u00a0 “Oh ’bout 1\/2 a block, my house is the green one right over there.”\u00a0 I’ll have to be sure and stop by this afternoon again on the way home, I think she’ll be pleased (or surprised) that I’m still kicking.\u00a0 The ride went remarkably well actually, especially considering my total lack of planning.\u00a0 I wasn’t entirely sure what route to take.\u00a0 But, seriously, how lost can you really get between Brookside & Downtown?\u00a0 I took Brookside down to the Plaza, then went east a few blocks and kind of meandered up side streets the rest of the way.\u00a0 This “plan” ended up taking me through a few, shall we say, less than desirable stretches, but whatever.\u00a0 No worries.\u00a0 I think with a few tweaks I’ll have a good, low-stress route worked out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
