Zoinks, I am falling behind!! Bike-to-work-week is already here. Hope it's not too late for y'all to join in. For those who don't remember, refresh your memory here and here. It's time for another leave-your-car-at-home challenge, same rules apply:
- Bike (or walk, or carpool, or take public transportation) to work (or school, the grocery store, on a date) one day this week. Basically, replace a car trip with some other form of exercise or CO2-reducing locomotion. If you already bike to work, find another car trip to replace... you can always bike more!
- Wear a helmet and follow local traffic laws, of course.
- Send me a picture!!
- Tell me how many miles you biked/walked/etc that you would have otherwise been in your car.
- Did I mention send a picture of yourself on your spiffy bike/bus/two feet?
- I will make a donation, based on total car miles reduced, to Wild Hope, the non-profit backpacking organization I guide for that spends the off-season lobbying for wilderness protection and leading trips designed to expose politicians to the wilderness their legislation has the potential to preserve.
Make me proud. Oh, and send me a picture!

In one month, I'll be doing my part by WORKING FROM HOME! YIPPEE!!
By the way, the link is now wrong to my blog; changed the address to: www.tigerthegecko.blogspot.com
I rode 34 miles total yesterday to and fro work! Sorry, now pictures :-(
I am so sorry I didn't "really" participate. I did take quite a few walks with Sydney to the park (instead of driving the 3 minutes). I hope everyone else made you proud!
