Bikes: Raleigh Detour 3.5

First winter commuting, and I did 8 out of 22. I have a 20 mile one way commute, but rely on the train for 10 of those miles, so I only get in about 20 miles a day. I commute from Chicago to the Northern Suburbs, and with the recent increase in Metra fares, I hope to be strong enough to go the whole distance by the summertime. On Monday, with the warm temps I thought I could bike the whole way back, but ended up wiping out on some ice I didn't see. Ended up with a badly bruised knee, so I took yesterday off and got back on the bike today. Even with an injury, it still feels good to be back on the bike.
