Let’s Hear it For Human Power!

Transportation, that is…

Yup…how is this for a diet pill that works. I’m talking about walking and biking to get us where we need to go. Instead of cars how hard would it be for us to start choosing human power to get us to at least some of our destinations? I am striving to use human power more this summer. When I have errands around town, I now put a backpack on my back and take off on my brand new bike. The bike was a way of motivating myself to use it more and it’s working. besides…I realized I hadn’t had a new bike for 18 years so I was due for a new one.

Anyway, the benefits are many. Calories burned, exercise, save money on gas, reduce your carbon output….plus it will just plain make you feel good. I promise!

We used to live about 17 miles from where I work. Purchasing a bicycle was not an option and, unfortunately for the time being, remains so. However, we moved to a place about 4 miles, which is not out of the realm of possibility when it comes to walking.
