No doubtr about it, you are a bike commuter. But you are not yet a "seasoned" bike commuter. For that, you will need two to three years of daily bike commuting that includes riding in cold weather, rain, snow if possible, and icy roads if possible, and not getting clobbered in traffic thru your own error. That's the on-bike portion. There's also an oral exam. You must be able to answer questions such as, "where do you leave your bike so it doesn't get stolen?" "where do you take a shower?" "what's the best system for getting clean clothes to work?" and "what's the fastest route to get to work, and what's the quietest/safest route?" (Look, we gotta keep out the rif-raff!)

Once you're comfortable with all that, and when you have demonstrated your ability to replace a punctured tube in cold rain in under 15 minutes (the clock starts when you roll to a stop and stops when you're back on the bike with the tire inflated), then you become a Bike Commuter First Class! This honor, plus $2, will buy you a cup of coffee...
