My commutes are pretty much easy and uneventful. Starting out at 6:00 in the morning is probably the reason why. I hardly ever see anyone (1 or 2 riders) commuting to work. Living in Silicon Valley (San Jose) traffic doesn't usually hit the city streets especially First Street till about 7:00 or 7:30. By that time I'm in the safe confines of my cubicle. Afternoon is a little bit different. Still, pretty good commute. Weather is excellent right now. We'll see how long that lasts.
