Pete's Log: Biking and the View from my Office part 2
Entry #1682, (Random Crap)(posted when I was 31 years old.)
Today I finally got my bike roadworthy again. I bought two new tires and two new inner tubes, put those on, then gave the bike a good wash and lubed up the chain and attempted to tune the brakes.
I've been considering riding my bike to work every once in a while (particularly on frisbee Wednesdays), but decided I should try it on a weekend first, to figure out how long it actually takes. So that's what I did. It wound up taking 40 minutes there and 35 minutes back. In neither direction did I take the most optimal route. I will need to work on that. But in any event, this is definitely doable, since it takes me about 30-45 minutes to get to work with public transit anyway.
The bike ride has the added bonus that it is very scenic, as I get to ride through the old city. Anyway, while I was briefly at the office today, I took a couple pictures of what the view from my office actually looks like, since a few people requested it. Here it is from the window:

Oh, and because why not, here is Gandhi sitting in my window at home:
