My bike computer ticked over 42,000 km this morning on the way into Vancouver.
It hit me that I've pedaled a distance greater than the Earth's circumference, which seems wild for a guy who just wanted to avoid bridge traffic, so what's a number on your ride that actually made you stop and think?

Read about a guy who logged the vertical climb from his local hill rides. Added it all up and realized he'd pedaled higher than Mount Everest. Makes you wonder what other crazy totals we're all racking up without even knowing, right? That's the kind of math that actually means something. Your circumference story is the same deal. Just putting in the daily miles for a simple reason, and next thing you know you've circled the globe.

Wait, you did that just to avoid bridge traffic? That's the part that gets me. You started with such a simple, everyday goal and ended up pedaling around the whole planet. It makes my own commute look like a trip to the corner store. It's crazy how those small choices add up into something that huge without you even planning it.
