Thanks, guys. I'm not sure I agree with you, though.

We may be kindred spirits, or whacked in the head the same way--whichever you prefer.
If anything, I've learned there's more than one way to skin the proverbial cat WRT to cycling in general and commuting in particular. As much as I like it when people agree with me, I learn more when they don't. For the most part, there's no real right or wrong, only what works best for each of us most often.
And that depends on exactly what way one is whacked in the head.
