Heh. Actually I was spending quite a lot of time surfing last night
reading up on bicycle commuting. It's a bit long to go from north
Raleigh to RTP but I think I'd like to get a rather utilitarian used
bike and give it a go. Though I'm not sure yet what the busing options
are en route, if any.

Due to some health issues, I was unable to get a drivers license at the
same time as my peers so I spent quite a lot of my time on a bike. And
yes my stamina and lower body strength was pretty intense back then.
Many years of driving just to sit behind a desk has undone all of that.
Pipe smoking hasn't helped. So I'm sure it's going to be a really
different experience when I get back on a bike than how I remember it being.
