There's no way I could do this commute daily, it took 2:20 and I still need to ride home! Maybe once every other week or so. I'm riding an early 90's mountain bike with slicks, which seems about right; comfortable, and a good climber.
They were giving away bike maps, bells, coupons, food, bags, and other things that tend to clutter up your garage
It was neat to see so many bikes out there though.
