Thanks! I feel pretty fortunate- I ride down the middle of the road the entire way in the morning, I get a little bummed if I get passed by a car

Absolutely gorgeous commute scenery! My wife-to-be doesn't love riding quite to the extent that I do, but if I lead by example, perhaps one day she'll catch the bug.
Also, I'll second the post that said you both have awesome bikes! You can haul just about anything you need to on those beauties!

Very cool, thanks for sharing.
Oh and your a stud, 36 miles is long way. My fiance usually rides to work, I can't because I have a work vehicle

Pacific Northwest, or New England? Just guessing. Nice country.
I'm lucky to get my wife on a bike once a year.

My fiancee just started commuting on her bike a few times a week after watching me do it daily. All of her worries were instantly whisked away after her first trip. She leaves before me in the morning, and it's great to wake up and see our car still parked in the driveway. I wish we had the scenic views that you have. But, I may also never make it to work if I was riding through such beautiful country.

The Rock Cycle
My bf & I both bike commute.
I ride 10 miles r/t up to 5 days a week.
The bf is un/underemployed, works from home when he has some consulting work. But he rides all over town to do errands, sometimes rides to work with me in the mornings, or rides out to meet me and ride home with me.

Nice commute pictures. It does look like mine, except I have a bunch of gravel and usually not that much shoulder on my roads. Where in PNW are you?

We're in WA- usually one day a week I get off early enough to meet her at her work and we ride home together. Her commute is mostly through neighborhoods with a long stretch on a very nice mup
