    I already typically use my bike to travel to and from school, but I have been using it to travel to friends house and restraints instead of driving.  I have noticed that I enjoy biking more than driving as well as it being beneficial for the planet.  But the thing I found most challenging was the showering for only five minutes, I am used to taking longer showers and taking my time. But I have been taking quick ones and as the days have passed it has become easier.
