Well, if this month's experiment with a biking-only existence were real science, the data would be...inconclusive. I went three full weeks sticking to the plan. Then I got a flat tire. And then the rains came. And then certain errands (for which a car was considerably more convenient) beckoned. None of these obstacles was insurmountable, but - taken together - they vanquished my enthusiasm.
Ironically, I feel healthier since I broke down and used my car. I'm going to the gym more often now that it's easier for me to do so. So let's grade this lab, shall we?
Performance - C-
Mission Accomplished? - F
Fun (when it wasn't raining) - B+
Fitness (due to my lack of ambition) - C
Better Understanding of the Effect of Local Infrastructure on Lifestyle - A-
I feel a modicum of lameness for not following through, but I did get a taste for it, which was the point all along.
Anyway, speaking of potentially unattainable goals, I'm trying to raise $527 on my Obama fundraising site. Please give a few dollars if you're willing and able.
