location, location, LOCATION

We recently moved outside the city, which meant gone was my 6minute cycle to work on my fixie, replaced instead by an extra hour and a half in traffic each day. It also meant my wife had no car during the day while I was at least 45minutes away. When I did get home, it was 45mins later than usual which meant missing the Autumn sun and time to ride my bike or missing time with my wife and baby boy.

I love riding my bike, and I love spending time with my family. Immediately I knew something had to change.

With the MyCity bus route having just started running to our suburb it was a pretty easy decision, I’d start taking the bus. Since they allow bikes on the bus, I decided that I would bus to work, and ride home

Time to think

Immediately apparent when I started my now longer journeys to work was that driving in traffic is stressful. Taking the bus means not driving. Not driving means not stressing. Less stress and more time to think, read, catch up on news or just stare blankly out the window is the biggest plus of taking the bus. A good way to begin the day in a good mood.

This is a photo diary of my daily commute...
