You're lucky you have any bike lanes at all. This damn hippy state is back asswards, that's for sure. If I see you riding your silly little bike I'll run you over with my 3mpg rear duel wheel Ford/Hummer combo Land Crusher. Damn cyclist. Go back to France.

I usually average about Heart rate 140-150 for 45-50 minutes if I'm going at a moderate tempo. @Bruce it’s actually a pretty decent workout.

How good of a workout is it compared to a "real ride"? It sounds like you have to slow down and stop so often that it would be hard to get your heart rate up.

That is epic. I know its a beast up there in Vancouver, but didnt realize how bad it was until now. Also, being a native I dont think i have ridden across that bridge. I should try it with you sometime! Wow. That is epic. I know its a beast up there in Vancouver, but didnt realize how bad it was until now.

In a way it's nice that it's a longer ride, because it's just long enough that I can get in some good training on the way there and back. Thanks for the comment - I'll definitely be careful.

However, it's beyond explanation. Gotta ride! I suppose the normal response would be, “We do this for what reason?” However, it’s beyond explanation. Gotta ride!

How convenient that there is a nice warm shower waiting for you when you get there...it would be nice if more businesses did that. Are you planning to ride to work all the way through winter? I loved playing Frogger, but part of its appeal is that if you get squashed by a car it's no big deal to start the game over. So you be careful out there, Adam! Wear Christmas lights if you have to ;) It is so awesome you commute by bike…all the way to Vancouver!
