It's been good to see you out on rides again, as well. 300 miles may not seem like a lot, but it’s good to see your miles creeping back up (well, and sometimes bolting — you added 76 miles from February to March and 60 miles from March to April!).

Roll on May I have done 51 miles so far in May so if I keep this up daily I should average just short of 7000 miles for the year ha ha Hi David good to read you did the 30 days of biking and are back on the bike/ My April was somewhat lacking in cycling but as they say onwards and upwards .

For a mile or two, yeah, it seems more sensible to wear whatever shoes I have on when I walk out to the garage, and my "mile or two" bike has Ergon pedals on it (I can be wearing Vibram Five-Finger shoes and still feel good on those big pedals!). If I'm pulling much weight in a trailer, I'll go for the spud shoes, regardless of distance. Clipless pedals on a longer commute do help–my ride to work is roughly thirteen miles.

The one I use for android is simply called Bicycle Calculator, but there are some for iphone too. A quick search should bring them up for you.

I'm hoping the iPhone app will guide me though. I had no discipline at last night's Car-Free Happy Hour, but I did have fun, and probably gained 3lbs. Yes, discipline is the answer.

I find the bus to be annoying enough that I'd rather ride my bike and deal with the pain, at least on days where the pain is bearable. I did okay today on the single-speed.
