Made the first bike commute

On Wed. Basically this was my first time on a bike in 10+ years, haven't ridden since early college years. The commute was about 7 miles each way, and was pretty nice. In the morning I over layered, and was pretty warm when I got to work. Lesson learned, don't need that much

The way home was around 80 degrees, was only in a T-shirt and shorts and it was good. I do need to get a rack and some panniers. I think I would have been a lot more comfortable if I didn't have a back pack on.

I'm glad I started, got a workout and to and from work at the same time. I plan to commute 2-4 times a week up until it gets really hot in the summer. I used to ride a motorcycle, and above 110 it was pretty bad. We'll see how the summer goes.
