Moron on The Monon

Aside from any other morons on the Monon, the one moron we're talking about would be yours truly. No matter how badly it's snowing outside right now, I'm eager to get back outside and hit the Monon. I'm one of the folks who consider it a blessing that the Monon Trail is close to where I live and to where I work.

During the summer last year, I was able to ride my bike in to work in relative safety. It gave me a nice boost to the day, provided me with some exercise, and even saved me a few bucks on gas. Let's not talk about the price of gas though.

Something that I found very useful was the Indy Greenways website, which has plenty of information for fair weather trail fiends like me. Maps, updates on new trails, construction notices for existing trails - the folks at Indy Greenways do a fine job. And while I'm at it, a not-so-bad resource for local punk rock bike enthusiasts is the Indianapolis Hardcore website. Believe it or not, hardcore punk rock kids enjoy their bikes. Though you will probably never find one of them on the Monon.
