Sat with Nat

Nat is delighted to be photographed

I’m sitting at work and get a Teams message from my buddy Brian.

“Are you at the office today? Would you mind being photographed? It’s commuter challenge week. Did you bike in?”

You bet I biked in! I found out that many people who bike to work did not want their photo taken.

I met up with three other cycling commuters and we had some photos taken. It took ten minutes.

The photographer admitted she was surprised how hard it is to get folks to agree to be photographed.

We chatted a bit about how to overcome objections and the importance of having lots of people in published materials.

I was glad someone thought of me and I hope the photos get used to show that there are lots of bodies that bicycle.

Biking to work has helped me mentally and physically. I’m well on my way to exceeding 1,300 km I biked last year. A lot of little trips add up fast!

A snapshot of my mileage to date this year, 914 km. I’m likely not hitting my goal of 2,500 before the end of July though.
