I definitely ride. I don't get to as often as I like, but man every time I get back on the bike I feel at one with the world. Its probably my favorite form of exercise.

I ride. Actually me and my dad carpool since we both work in the same building. Since he and I arrive at the same time but leave at different times we just alternate days of who gets to pedal home.
Great ride! About 15 miles, puts us home in around 50min since there are few hills. A little more curtesy for the auto's would be nice, but I'm saving 50% on gas. So it is definitely worth it.

Trek'ing
Got A Bontraegar Trek from Operation One Voice a few weeks ago. I've gotten addicted to riding now. I live on post so it's the only way I travel now. Lewis has some great stretches of road.

I ride; A Fuji Finest for my road bike and a Trek 4300 for my mountain bike. Kentucky, however, isn't the best place since it seems like they have contests to see how close they can get to you.

I am glad to see that I am not the only one crazy enough to decide to start pedaling. I ordered a bike here in SOPines last week, can't wait to get started. I am hoping to be able to spend weekend riding. I usually run, but it is starting to kill my knees. Besides, you ever see a bunch of overweight bikers??

My boss and one of our design engineers...there should be a law against wearing spandex for some folks...in good (cardio) shape for their weight, but we're talking 30-50 pounds overweight for spandex...
