First commute of the season and first commute of bike month! I have about a 5 mile commute to work. The weather was great, temp was about 40*F, but the May sun helped keep it comfortable.

The first half mile was rough because my tires were a bit low from sitting all winter. I used my mini pump at home, but needed more air. I hit the gas station and used their air, while laughing to myself that gas this morning was $4.29. After topping of my tires the commute went much smoother. The only slight hiccup was forgetting that there is a place on my route where the street turns into a one-way for about a block, so I had to ride down a busy residential street for about 2 blocks to the parallel street. Last year I learned to get over to that street before the busy street, avoiding any conflict.

We shall see how this afternoon goes!
