IKEA Route Maps

Here is my route to IKEA. As you can see, I did what any car might do, take 3 direct streets. It sucked.



This is the way back. Janes is pretty good so I stayed on there for a little while. I wanted to avoid 75th completely. Hobson is good because there is a path on either side of the road, one being paved. After that, neighborhoods are always fun to ride through.

Today was the perfect day to pedal down to IKEA. I needed to pick up two things to turn my BD into a pizza delivering monster.
If you haven't taken my survey yet, please do! It's short I promise.

Here's the link to my pizza/bike survey

IKEA has bike racks! So much for only 15 minutes in the loading zone. One day I am going to count how many steps I take while riding my bike everywhere. It'll be sooo many fewer steps than someone driving their car to the same places.

Lots of people talk about using their Xtracycles to be able to stop at a garage sale or basically any unexpected place on their way home from the commute and not worrying about bringing whatever they bought home. When I saw that the W's down the street were cleaning their garage out, I decided to stop by and say hello, and was pleasantly surprised to find that they found our bocce ball set! I threw it on and got home with my first surprise cargo, no sweat.
