Biking in the Rain!
Remember that walk to work challenge that I posted for you all? Well, this week I decided to try and make another change towards sustainability. I got a used bike and thought that I could ride it to work more efficiently than walking. There were two things to consider. One is weather, and two is the carbon behind riding a bike.
With the first... One simply needs to check the forecast beforehand and not live in a state where it can change in five minutes.
The second would be to look at this article on the riding a bike offsetting the carbon it took to make it.

Happy trails! I can't wait to hear about your adventures on the open road!
