I was basically forced into a bike commute, because the light rail station parking is filled at 9am. This all started when I started back to school this semester... so about 1.5 months now(only 2 days a week) I've officially been commuting on the bicycle. It's only 2 miles each way, but having done this for a bit now, it has me thinking about commuting to work. The school commute started out with bicycle(to the light rail) for the morning class, and then take the car back to the light rail for the afternoon class. After a few weeks, I started(and am now at) doing 2x round trips a day for the bicycle, totaling 8 miles two days a week.

Work is a 12 mile trip each way. Just ordered the DiNotte 800/400 kit last night, so I can actually try the commute to work(it's a 1730-0530 shift). Light when I go in right now, but still dark when I leave. And part of the bike path is along a 4 lane highway shoulder.

When it gets nicer out, I'll probably try the MUP up the Platte river to class, which is around 15 miles each way. But, almost no stops, crossing, or anything in the way. One solid path up the river to downtown Denver.
