Well, he rode his bike to work this morning but you've got to start somewhere. (I'm not sure if this is a direct response to the Sidford challenge.)
From his email:
It's Tuesday, and I rode my bike to work.
Here are the stats, according to my cycle computer/heart rate monitor (being a baseball fan, you must love stats, right?):
4.2 miles, one way
17:36 elapsed time
14.6 average mph
22.6 max speed
180 calories burned (about 1 beer)
I ride to work whenever I can, but it ususally works out to two or three time a week, depending on whose turn it is to schlep Lucky Sheldon to work. Maybe there are some numbers weenies out there who can do a cost benefit analysis of my ride to work. My Honda CRV gets around 22mpg. To be accurate, they probably should factor in the shower I had installed at work for $1,500 (amortized over a five year lease).
Happy numbers crunching!
James
Editor's Note: Lucky Sheldon is a dog.
So, I think we can all learn a valuable lesson from this. My takeaway, I gotta get me one of those computer heart rate thingies.

Way to go James! Not only do you deserve a beer, but you earrrrnnnned it!
Oh and thanks for the sidwalk help! They finally paved it yesterday. I was told by the city that it was "a state thing" but alas it has been fixed.
