One year ago today I left public transportation behind and got back on a bike I purchased in 1998. I've riden that bike to work every single day I've worked since...rain, sleet, ice, snow, wind, more ice, you name it, I've riden through it. (It's a short 4.5 miles each way.)

Posting here on the forum has been a great way to learn about commuting and gather tips and gear advice. I never, in a million years, would have thought I would be a bike commuter. Now that I am, I can't believe I waited so long to do it.

Salute to everyone on here.
