Tim decided a couple of months ago that he was going to take after his brother, Ken, and start biking to school/work. Ken bikes some insane number of miles every day, and is therefore in really good shape. He also lives in California, which tends to be a tad more bike-friendly than Utah in the winter. Tim bought a bike, helmet, and other assorted gear, and started to work up to the 12+ miles each way that it will take to get to BYU. He has been doing great- is already up past 12 miles a day, which means he can at least get there, if not back!
So today, Tim finally got me on a bike, as well. Being bikeless myself, I borrowed Rebekah's, and we set off on his usual route. Amazingly, I managed to go 9 miles, and I'm not even dead... quite. I am having a hard time sitting down today, however. I may stand in the back at church tomorrow.

For my birthday this year I got a bike, the first bike I have owned since I was about 10. I love it.
Good for you on the distance. I'm only good for about 5 miles, with several fanny breaks. It does a number on my rear. OUCH.
