Taking a bike to work turns most of the commute into a  pleasant holiday (and, secondarily, a justification to renounce the gym)

About half way into the 7.5 mile bike ride, it looks like this and it smells like eucalipti

On the land side, there are trees…

…and grasses

… and bucolic views

On the bay side, I ride by a marina

Sail boats go out on a sunny day, San Francisco in the background

Marine layer sometimes cuddles the earth…

..or teases San Bruno Mountain

…or slithers with Canada geese, as the sun gets ready to rise on a winter morning

Not to be taken for granted.
