Biked through the snowy winter!

I have maintained a perfect commuting year thus far in 2010 by bike, despite it being the 4th snowiest winter on record here in these parts. 41 inches of snow has fallen.. A timely investment in December in some Nokian Hakkapellita 308 all-condition studded 26x2..125" MTB tires with kevlar bead, enabled me to get through the tougher winter road conditions with no real problems. The greenway trail was snowed out for a couple of weeks but I rode on the plowed roads instead.

I've continued picking up trash and recycling it as I go, each day.
The avoided carbon emissions have added up to 21 trees worth from the recycling, and 22 trees worth from the bicycling miles. Although it's only mid-March, my mileage has reached 450 miles. It's all good!

Warmer weather has returned, albeit with rain. Highs this week should be in the 50s most days!

Checking back in

I had a banner year bike commuting in 2009. 206 bike commutes!
it topped my 2008 numbers which totaled 156.

My goal for 2010 is to do at least 5 more than in 2009. i.e., 2011 or more. That's feasible but I'm asymptotically approaching the 100.0 percent trips to work being taken by bike, the absolute limit of what'll be possible this year, otherwise known as a "perfect commuting year".

I've been logging my trips in bikejournal since the beginning of '09. It's been a lot of fun!!
