This might be a good time delurk and say hi. I'm on day two of bike commuting, pretty light by the standards of this forum, 2.6 miles each way in Manhattan. I've never really biked in the city before, so it's mostly a game of learning to negotiate traffic, zombie pedestrians, delivery guys going the wrong way, etc. I'm looking forward to cooler weather. It's not as hot as it's been, but I still arrive a sweaty mess. I'll have to bike home in the dark tonight; I really need to get lights. So far so good, and I hope to keep it up!
