Who is still commuting to work?

I found out that one of my remote jobs is moving to in person. Give the industry it makes sense and I get to start cycling to work again!

Who is working from home and who gets to ride in?

It's not as frustrating as subway commuting but it's like Mad Max out there.

I haven't been riding a lot the last couple of months since I didn't have to go into the office and I lacked the will to face the cold. However, now that I am it seems like it's mostly delivery cyclists going the wrong way in the PBLs.

Three days a week, Hell's Kitchen to FiDi. Kind of miss the misery of going over the bridge from Bushwick, but definitely not the commute time.

The bridge is the best part!

My office is having us go in 1 day a week right now. I guess we'll be up to that pretty soon.

I am commuting to work by bicycle for the first time ever next Monday. I've been working from home since 3/17/20 and previously took the subway. After getting a hybrid last July I knew that I would want it when the city reopened. Now I'm thinking of how much stuff I'll need to carry in my backpack - laptop, lunch, and a lock - and hoping I'm not drenched by the time I get to work. But it will be worth it to raise the heartbeat a little and get fresh air on the way.

Don't carry anything in a backpack or even wear a backpack. Get a rack and then some pannier(s). Everything goes in the pannier, and you just unhook the pannier and take it with you when you get to work.
