Finally, spring is fully upon us in the great Alaskan South Central Region. Lawns are being thatched, yards being cleaned, flowers being planted.

And gas costs $3.89 per gallon.

HOLY COW! says I when my thirsty F250 pickup rolls out of the gas station with my credit card bending under the weekly $100 fill up just put on it.

Time to commute via other means....bicycle. I live ten miles from my location of employment. There are bike trails nearly the whole way. It'll only cost some sweat and a half hour of sleep in the morning.

Well...that's what I said two weeks ago when I started. And now...in reality, it's not too bad.

Pedal power rocks!

And it's nice to save a little cash from the gas pump.
