a car free weekend for me

I basically just replaced every trip I would take by car with bike rides.

Friday
-4 mile "fun" ride. It would have been longer, but I got caught in the rain.
Saturday
-Trip #1. 13miles. Dropped off some videos at the library and went skateboarding downtown. I had my skateboard hooked on my backpack. Like so:

-Trip #2. 1 mile. Picked up some junk food at dollar general. 75% off on easter candy.
Sunday
-Trip #1. 3 miles. Church
-Trip #2. ? miles. I will take a spin around the neighborhood later today and see I anyone is throwing away anything interesting (Monday morning is garbage day).

Great job. It's was amazing to me how many miles are spent in the 3-5 mile range of my house. It really adds up and these kind of trips kill the FE. Keep it up
