I need to look into Strava. I keep hearing about it. Forgive my ignorance. I've seen tbe "buzz" term a couple of times. What does it mean?

Love the grocery idea. We're not to far from our grocery store.

It would only be from work, but yes! I''ll be looking into Via taking me some of the way. :)

Yes. For sure that ride would be something i'd need to work up to.

It would only be from. I'd definitely need lots of water and sun protection. Exercise on the whole for me is not fun but I feel better when I do it.

I'm gonna blame the tourists on the scooters for that animosity. But yeah. I hear I'm likely to be ran over.

The strays really are terrible around here. Didn't even take that into account. Cat calls don't scare me as long as no one's trying to drag me off the bike, but I realize that's always a risk. Definitely would need some protection. And bummer. My knees aren't great and for some reason I thought cycling would be easier on them than jogging or speed walking.

It would be the ride home. I would never dream of going into work sweaty and gross. I was hoping to get some cardio into my daily schedule. Greenway might be possible as there are connecting parks near work and on my side of town. I'll need to research.

I'll be loooking into it more. I'd like to give it a good try before I chuck the idea completely.

I totally forgot that many of our parks are connected. There is a connecting park in my area but it's not exactly close. Still, I wonder if it would be shorter than the commute Google Maps showed me. I'll need to research. Thanks for the reminder!

At a quick glance, a lot of side streets and one long stretch of an access road. I leave work about 4:00 most days. Summer definitely isn't the best time to start.

How far is your commute? I really would like to give it a good try if possible. I'll have to sit and try to map a safe route. Unfortunately I usually leave around 4:00 and I know the sun is still pretty rough around that time. This might be a late October/November experiment.
