I have new batteries and didn't get lost tonight! And my rear derailleur shifts like a warm knife cuts through butter Now all I've got to do is figure out the front derailleur...

Side not: I (almost literally) ran into a new commuter...he was in the bike lane with a look of complete and utter awe that someone actually rode with traffic...and he was wearing a tie...honestly, I don't think I've ever seen someone ride a bike with a back pack and tie at the same time...unless the tie was on their head.
