Just started commuting in Seattle this week. Last time I bike commuted regularly was in Philadelphia back in 2011, and my legs (and lungs) are definitely protesting.
This was my first complete bike build (including wheels). Quite a journey! Given the many gray days in Seattle, I was going for high visibility.
