There's a well-known canal nearby and it's excellent to bike and walk along. We usually walk along that path but I've been wanting to bike there since we moved-in 2 yrs ago. I even bought a cute little antique bike just for that purpose BUT I've yet to use it!

At first it needed new tires since the bike was in storage for years and that took awhile before hubby managed to do it - it just fell low on the To Do List. But now that I'm pregnant and it's cold outside, I highly doubt I'll manage to use it before it warms up because I'll be too big by then.

One day, I'll use it. Maybe even buy groceries at the corner store with it ... baguettes sticking out of my bike basket ... well, that's what I always pictured anyway =P

i bike commute to work everyday! in fact, winter is my favorite time to commute as it's easier to stay warm while riding (during the summer you just sweat and there's not much you can do about it!)

bike commuting is a GREAT way to exercise (and reduce your footprint). you never feel like your actually exercising when it's about getting from point a to point b, but it really does wonders. for example, i had to stop riding for a few weeks recently and i put on 10 pounds! SO glad i'm back on my bike again and the weight is already coming back off!

i also know a lot of ladies that have been able to keep up with riding well into their pregnancies! such a great way to stay healthy!

Biking in NYC makes me SO nervous. I'm not really confident at all on a bike, and especially not riding through traffic. Even riding in the park is scary since there are soo many people, dogs, other bikers, horse carriages, etc.

I have a bike but only use it for fun. I don't use it to get around.

I do triathlons, so I bike a lot, but only for fun and training. Unfortunately, I live in one of the least bike-friendly cities in the country. Plus, when I was working, my office was 35 miles from my home in the suburbs and really only reachable by freeway. You would have to have a death wish to bike on Houston freeways in rush hour traffic.

@tlcbaby: I stopped riding my bike outside when I was pregnant for the same reason. Sometimes I just don't manage to unlock my foot from my pedal very gracefully!

I don't own a bike

In the non-icy months I bike to work. There is a gorgeous historic cemetery between our place and my office. I'm afraid of riding in traffic, but the park-like cemetery is pretty and not scary.
