This was my first real commute, this morning. The weather here in Michigan has been dicey and I'm not quite hardcore enough (yet) to be a year round commuter. This morning was really nice though, it was about 39 degrees, no snow or rain, relatively dry for just having had snow and sleet the last two days. So I took a shot. My 2011 Giant Rapid 3 is in the shop getting tuned up and I won't have it back until Monday so I rode my old Schwinn Mesa mountain bike to work. I was missing my Giant (especially since I hadn't been for a ride since early November) but it was still a gorgeous ride and I absolutely loved it! I'm planning to continue commuting regularly from hear on out.
