May in the Colorado high country can be a trying time for a cyclist, let alone a cyclist running a small business. In most places, April showers bring May flowers; for us it seems that April snow showers can sometimes bring more May snow showers.
This means biking to work can be risky business! Now I know the weather will get much better as the month of May wears on, I also know, that in years past we have received a foot of snow on the fourth of July; that would not have been a fun day to ride home from work.
In my local community I am hoping to get a couple of days riding to work, watching the weather; of course. I plan on bringing my bike to work; trying to run as many errands and business tasks by bike; as well as getting some good after work training rides in. For me, this time of year is “Bike from Work Month”; so in my own way I plan on raising awareness of “Bike to or from Work Month”. My hope is; by just being on my bike, I might motivate more people to get there bikes out of the garage and go for a ride; weather to work or after work. Riding to work or running a few errands should save you a few dollars and will sure make you feel good! Just be sure and watch the weather!
