Welcome aboard.
Some of you guys are lucky to be in a place with other bike commuters. I live in a semi-urban area right next to a city of about 130,000. I've been riding in this area since moving in, about 23 years ago now. I am the only one who has been out there year after year. I do see other bikes, of course. But I don't see the same ones out there repeatedly. I think there's a commuter on a road bike around here. I think he's on this forum, though I haven't seen him around in a while.
It would be nice to have someone around who I can 'identify' with.
In any case, do have fun. Good luck out there and keep us posted.
