The Good:
Started commutting this year after spending the last couple talking myself out of it. Got rid of the knobbies and picked up a couple MPH on average. Got a computer to keep myself motivated to go faster and do more miles. The REALLY good: Bought my new bike so that I can dedicate my first to full-time commuter duty.
The Bad
Dumb@ss drivers who either pass to close, honk at you, or scream GET THE F&*(&(^$ OFF THE F^#$#$G ROAD!! (Bright Spot : watching them have to jam on the brakes to avoid rear-ending someone)
The Ugly
My mood while dealing with said drivers (Bright Spot motivates me to push harder) My bike and helmets after adding the amount of reflective tape needed to make me visable even during the day!! (Mine is hunter orange but reflects white)
BTW: Does any one know where I can get my hands on some black reflective tape? I know it exists because I've used it before but I'm not about to raid the local Air Force base's AGE shop just to get some.
