Hi guys,
I'm going to be an intern at GM's Tech Center and I was figuring on commuting by bike. Once I got past the irony of it all, I thought this a good idea seeing as the area looks pretty flat. Coming from the Bay Area, I have no idea what the road situation is like, so I wanted to ask the locals. I'd rather not be on the 10 o'clock news. My thoughts were to pretty much start at Highway 59 and head south on Ryan rd, then east on 12 mile. From google street view, it looks nice and low and traffic. Hopefully I didn't choose a main thoroughfare. Wouldn't mind hearing from locals whether or not this is suicide. Thanks.
