Maybe this is cheating? In that it’s not a picture I took from biking exactly, but a picture of the logistics surrounding biking today?

I think I’ve mentioned this before, but the three of us in my office have two work trucks that we share between us and a few different volunteer crew leaders. The truck that’s kinda “mine” is the one that travels around between different folks the most, since the other truck mostly lives with our staff crew leader whose job is fully to be out and about doing trail work.
So this past weekend my boss had “my” truck for something, but yesterday he drove it to our office, which I’d biked to. We had an evening event, so we put my bike in the back of the truck and carpooled to that, and afterward, I dropped my boss off at his house and continued on to my house with my bike in the truck. And today I drove it up to a site visit and then back to the office with my bike in it because I’m leaving it for one of our volunteers who is using it tomorrow, and I will bike home. And I’ll bike back to work to pick it up again on Friday, when I will also load it up with all the things I will need for an event early on Saturday.
It’s the truck shuffle: make sure it ends up in the right place for the right person at the right time with the right things in it, and that everyone can get home again at the end;) (also complicated by the fact that we’re not supposed to leave it overnight at the office, adding another layer of fun).
Having a bike is the perfect way to manage it, though, since it means that when I leave the truck somewhere, I can still always get myself home (without calling an Uber or something, which is weaksauce, ha). I do get sad when I only get to bike one-way — I’d rather not drive the truck at all — but I’m grateful that at one end of every truck shuffle is a bike ride;)
