Bike to Work Month Day 2: First to Fail

I'm Seth, Wallis Engineering's longtime computer guy, and the first to fail on this year's Bike Commute Challenge!

Good news though: I was the only first day rider to fail to ride in the second day, Go Team Wallis!

Why didn't I ride?  I wrecked on the way home yesterday. Wiping out spectacularly on a curb, and skidding a few feet downhill. Scrapes, bruises, injured pride, and a broken bike-bell. Not bad in all, and I planned to ride today.

This morning, however, my body rebelled. Overslept by two hours (when did I turn my alarm off?), aches and pains reminding me I'm not as young as I used to be, and I shamefully drove to work.

But tomorrow is another day! So I'll get back on the bike and try not to Busey myself on the pavement.
