Slice of Life

Another day, another 10K.

I hop on the bike about 5 days a week on average, typically in the morning before it gets too hot (or in the summers, before the storms hit).

I typically cover a 10-kilometer (about 6.2 miles) distance. I often get the grocery shopping and other local errands done this way, which cuts the number of times I fill my car’s gas tank to about once a month and reduces my risk of death from heart disease, stroke, or just general First World Flab.
