I just learned about Bike Forums by doing a web search for some biking related issues. I must say I am really impressed by the collective wisdom, good will and good humor I see here! I hope I can add to that.

I just started bike commuting in earnest a few weeks ago from Queen Anne Hill in Seattle over to Downtown Bellevue (19 miles each way). I am totally hooked and have even enjoyed the ride in a light sprinkle (can't be avoided hereabouts, I'm afraid).

Cheers!
