I've figured out a few things and have started preparing accordingly:
2010 Miles a Year = 5.5 miles a day, 38.5 miles a week, and 167.5 miles per month
Close-to-home chores: A round trip to the grocery store is only 1.1 miles, so I don't have to worry about trying to carry bundles on my bike...it's totally worth the drive, at least once a week. It's super easy to ride to the bank and to Circle K to do little chores.
Equipment: It's going to be dark when I go to work and when I come home, so I bought a totally awesome light for my bike. There are thorns throughout Fantasy Island, so I also got an easy-to-use pump and tire liners.
