Moonie- it helps if you take it easy with your pace when biking in. My hubby has a short commute, and does it frequently by bike, with no need to shower. I bike all over the city, in normal clothes, with no need to shower.

I'm toying with the idea of an eBike. Scoot in on power in the morning and get my exercise on the way home. Based on the price of parking around here I'd be looking at around an 18-month ROI.

What's your distance?

Between 6 and 7 miles with a few relatively gentle hills. I don't have the option for a shower at work unless I use the sink in the kitchen.

Definitely bikeable. With a leisurely pace in the Spring you can probably get away with a change of clothes and good deodorant. All bets are off once the humidity arrives.

E-bikes are a good choice. There are also power-assisted bikes; you still pedal, but the bike gives you a helping hand so you don't work as hard. I haven't tried one for any distance, but it was fun for a test.

KatieSue, I ran into your doppelganger at Starbucks today. I was sitting only 4 feet away from her and still there was an uncanny resemblance!

My bf's Android phone is creeping me out. While out at dinner, people at the table next to us start singing Happy Birthday ... and the phone comes to life of its own accord with links to the history of the Happy Birthday song, and birthday traditions around the world.

Then it somehow, of its own volition, goes on the interweb and comes up with an avatar for ME, that shows up when I call Mark - and it's an avatar that I used on the LoT, and only on the LoT, a year or so ago. W.T.F.???

So creepy!

Funny thing is, I told her, and she said that there was another woman there who was a dead ringer for someone SHE knew!
