Just Ride. Every Day. It’s That Simple.

The title of this piece echoes what the great bike racer Eddie Merckx said: “Ride as much or as little, or as long or as short as you feel. But ride.” As March wraps up I’m lookin…

Bike Style Life

Day 1 #30DaysOfBiking: To work, with my indoor parking that provides a view of the Washington State capitol, and home through downtown and along Budd Bay Inlet with sunshine creating my #BikeShadow to keep me company on my breezy ride.

And whaddaya know--I first wrote about this concept in 2019 on #30DaysOfBiking Day 2 http://bikestylespokane.com/2019/04/02/30daysofbiking-day-2-my-version-of-a-triathlon/. Good grief, I was even doing some of the exact same work tasks, like working on the Target Zero/SHSP plan update.

Day 3 #30DaysOfBiking: Thought I had spotted a hole between cloudbursts to dash down to the neighborhood bakery and get a bagel for lunch. I misjudged. Rain cape only handled part of the problem.

@BarbChamberlain what bag is that?
@GordonOfSeattle Can't get them any more, unfortunately. They're super old and I'm drawing a blank on the name of the Seattle-based company that made them. The straps make them convertible into a backpack, although not super comfy for that. Tons of room.
