The input is much appreciated folks. The wipe/Wet Ones recommendation was a good one; had not thought of that. My biggest problem with commuting is keeping the throttle dialed back. Non-Commuting road cycling has my mind trained that there's only one way to ride: hard and with purpose.

Another question - Do ya'll ride with or with out cleated shoes? My thinking would be it's easier to ride more leisurely with regular shoes. Not to mention less hassle of carrying a change of shoes.... and strange looks from sounding like a tap dancer.... Not sure how well a tennis type shoe would work with the smaller clipless pedals however.
