COMMUTER OF THE MONTH (MARCH)

What form of alternative transportation do you use?
Mountain bike outfitted with lights, mirror, and a cushy seat.
Why did you start using alternative transportation?
I started commuting on my bike when my car broke down when I was living in

How has alternative transportation helped you with your lifestyle (economics, health, relationships)?
I feel that the most noticeable benefit has been in my overall health and the several pounds I have lost around my midsection. I don’t see the environmental benefits of my biking rather than driving but I hope it is having a positive effect on reducing pollution and thus improving the quality of the air I breathe.
What do you do for a living?
I am a scientific technician. I do some work outside measuring streamflow, collecting water samples, and maintaining field equipment, and some work inside crunching data.

Any funny or interesting commuting story that you may want to share?
Not yet…
What do people (coworkers, friends) say when you tell them that you use alternative transportation to commute to work?
Some people are impressed that I commute by bike, but overall I haven’t gotten much feedback from co-workers who are not using alternative transportation other than some of them wondering why I have a rubber band around my right pants cuff all day.
