its been some time, but wanted to let you know that I've changed some things. now that my office has moved from the central business district to fuchengmen, i've had to change my commute. mostly since the move in October, i have taken a bike to the subway and then taken the subway to the office. the average commute is about an hour. Just recently i decided to try to bike all the way to work. i tested this out with a roundtrip last weekend....i made the round-trip without rest in 1.5 hours. I decided to upgrade my bike, buy some safety equipment and brave the journey across the heart of Beijing. the results are very good. I make it to work or home somewhere between 36-39 minutes (dependent upon wind and lights). And you end up getting a nice HIIT workout along the way. I want to take video, because its an amazing experience....working on that now. each ways it 12km...here is the map. A = home and B = work. The lakes in the middle are where we went skating today.
