I have been commuting to work now for a week. Over the week I have been able to cut 10 minutes off my time. One way I have done this is by riding my long board from home to the bus and then from Trax to work. I can cover the same amount of distance in a third of the time. And that is going uphill. Coming down is much faster.
I have really started to enjoy commuting. It has given me some extra time to read and work on some projects that I haven’t had the time to start. I wish that my commute home was a little faster though. It still takes me around an hour and twenty minutes to get home.
One thing that I still need to try is riding my bike. My bike should speed the whole process up. The down side of the bike is that I have to stand and hold it while riding Trax. Right now I can be on my laptop or read while riding Trax. Also, being July, it is hot outside. So riding a bike doesn’t sound like the coolest way to travel.
(Note this picture is of me long boarding in San Diego and not to work. I wish I could ride along the beach each day to work. Well, maybe someday.)
