The Best Commute Ever

I’ve been commuting to work this year on a small part of Anchorage’s super nifty trail system. I usually cycle, but some rare days I’ll just let my own two feet make the traverse. On even rarer days when the snow gets too deep or my tire is too flat I have the opportunity to walk my bike to work.The commute takes about twenty-five minutes cycling and about forty-five minutes on foot. I get to breathe the fresh air, feel the pale sun on my face, and scrape the icicles that grow in the corner of my eyes. I make my way to work in the great outdoors, but make my way home in the warmth of the truck. Denver picks me up every night and gets us both home in about seven minutes.
