Yesterday was my FIRST commute to work on my Strada, and it had a few issues (see my other post) but the ride home was great! So, today I was a little better prepared. I stopped at wally world yesterday evening and bought a cheap front light for the bike and when I left this morning I set it on blink. On the ride I noticed that I could see the light reflected back at me from the window of a house two blocks away. So that made me feel a little better about being seen on the road in the early morning dawn light. As it turns out, the ride was easy. Traffic was light, everyone behaved, I had a couple of easy highway crossings, caught a couple of the lights, and the traffic on the highway the last three miles was heavy, but no issue. All in all, it was a very positive experience. Tonight I plan to ride home the on the 'long' route and add a couple miles to the ride and see what that is like.
