Summer commute

All summer I’ve been taking the Metra to work. It’s been a great commute consisting of a short bike ride, a 20 minute train ride (air conditioning, always an empty seat), then a 3-mile bike ride through a forest to work.

Next week is back to the regular commute which has more walking, no bike, and more reading time. I’ll need the more reading time with my classes but I’ll miss the bike and forest!

Because all the machinery is right at street level (instead of slightly sunk like on the el) it looks so big and serious. I love the Metra wheels.
