Day 37 - Bike Commuting

Yesterday, I met a guy at work named John who commutes to work on his bike. He's in his 50's. He commutes every day from McAllen to Edinburg, a 7-mile trip each way, 14-mile roundtrip every day. We talk a while with me peppering him with a lot of questions like "How do you carry your stuff? Do you take a bath when you get to work? Isn't it hot on the bike ride home?" He answers my questions, then he tells me he's been riding his bike to work for seven years. Wow. I'm impressed. Inspired by his story, I tell him that I will see him on the road when my hip get better and I am able to ride my bike again. I got a lot of bike riding to catch up on when I get better.
