I’ve taken this Commuter Challenge thing to a whole new level. I like to come up with new ways to get to work by selecting different routes and modes of transportation. Since I have been doing this for over a year now, people are always asking me how I got to work today? So in this blog, I share my experiences in my travels. I hope you find this inspirational and that you too might find alternative routes and break from those usual patterns. Go ahead, try something new today!

First wipe of out the year

Okay so I fell off a bike. Luckily I did not get hurt. I had to maneuver two 90 degree turns.

















On the second one there was a bunch of garbage and mud on the sidewalk. My tires slid right out from underneath me. The funny thing was my feet were still clipped into the pedals and I fell sideways along with the bike. Ouch!


















After I got up after the fall, I was sooo dizzy I thought I would puke. I sat back down for a while and waited out the pain.








Damage: bent rim and sore knee

I went to the bike store on the way home and purchased a new rim and hard-case tires. I love hard-case tires, especially in the streets of the Detroit.
