Ha! You know, you're probably right. In fact, based on advice someone else gave in this forum, that was my plan originally. I think I got a little ahead of myself 'cause I'm so giddy about my new bike. I'll either try a "dry run" this Saturday or maybe I'll bike in tomorrow and take the T home, and then the T to work on Wednesday and bike home that night. Or better yet, maybe I'll ease into it by doing some early morning rides just around the 'hood and also go in on a weekend first.
Thanks for the advice.
