By the way, I have made it to work. I rode my cruiser, and I am an hour and a half early, so I'm hanging out at the coffee shop nearby.

Good job! I hope you enjoy bike commuting as much as I and many others have. It won't be too long before you get the timing worked out so you don't have to leave so early.
