I <3 my bike!

To walk to work and get in on time, I need to leave at 0820 at the very latest. To get the bus, I really need to leave at 0828, although I can get away with leaving at 0832. These figures may seem oddly precise, and oddly close-together, but believe me, when I'm trying to drag myself out of the house in the morning, every minute counts!
This morning? I left at 0838 and still made it in early, despite getting off and pushing at tricky junctions and being stuck behind a temporary traffic light for what felt like five minutes.
