Everything went great today, this was day 8 of me commuting... on the way home, my right trigger shifter decided it liked 3rd gear, and wasn't going to change when I told it to. Plus there are assorted creaks, clicks, and sounds coming from the crank-ish area, I will probably wind up repacking the pedals and bottom bracket this weekend. Probably will replace all cables as well. I'm also going to get my "loaner" bike in proper condition, in case I need to use it if my main bike breaks down. Overall going to be a busy weekend, and since I can, I'm probably going to drive tomorrow.

Good job everyone... if it weren't for the constant encouragement of you guys, I never would have tried bike commuting! I'm loving it so far. I can see building a serious commuter bike in the near future. I've got a Sturmey 8-speed drum hub not being used right now....
