I know it may not fully “count” for the Challenge, but I rode my commuter bike today to the South Miami Metrorail station. I ordinarily ride Metrorail to work downtown daily. Since I typically wait in a long line of cars at Red Road to cross (southbound) U.S. 1 and drop off my daughter, today’s commute was actually a little bit FASTER than driving! The July heat, however, did a number on the freshness of my business attire. I hadn’t ever noticed they have really good bike parking at this station - it’s under constant observation by the Wackenhut dudes. I wouldn’t envy those of you who had to find buses out to Doral though, much less having to cross the street or walk a block in what was practically a swamp just 10 years ago.

My experience today was much like every other work day:
- 7:55 drive one mile to the South Miami metrorail station
- 8:00 park & catch a train as I reach the top of the stairs
- 8:12 depart to Brickell metrorail station
- 8:20 catch the Metro Mover to Financial district
- 8:25 first to arrive in the offce - unlock the office door
All in all, a stress free commute to work.Listened to NPR on my IPOD during the commute.Didn’t spend a lot on gas (1 mile drive to the train station) or contribute to global warming.Didn’t spend any time stuck in traffic, being stressed out.(My wife is jealous of my commute.)
