Ok beat me up I'm a wimp I can take it. I will be embarking on my first commute to work on my bike this year. Haven't been on the bike since early November, I'm still having some knee and back issues but expect these to not be a problem as they have improved a lot and the gout in my right foot is almost a non factory so I am pretty sure its gonna be painful but I will be on my trustiest steed my 77 Schwinn Volare. Super Flash blinkies have new batteries and so does my blinky vest. Headlight battery is charging a we speak. I don't ride here in the winter since its usually so wet in the mornings and the afternoons for that matter and I can't see in the dark very well ( I leave the house at 4:10 AM) so if its foggy or rainy and my glasses get all fogged up I'm screwed. I've tried the looking over the top routine and it don't work. So all of you please wish me luck and pray I keep the wheel side down. I'm so stoked I didn't realize till about 2 hours ago when I made the decision to ride how much I miss it.
