I got my new bike last Thursday. I am in the adjustment period as we wait for a few final details. I have ridden my bike since the to the train station.

I typically take the commuter bus, but when the timing is off i take the bus to the train. All in all any of the 3 options take roughly the same amount of time door to door.

I have 2 stations nearby, around 1-1.5 miles away. Each station has its own set of traffic lights. The further station has more hills and a bike valet. The closer station has bike lockers and lots of regular parking.

Since I do not have my security locks and bolts I have been looking for ultra secure parking.

Today I had to be at work extra early for a meeting. The further station lets me coast downhill for the first half of the route. I dropped my bike at the valet and made it to work pretty fast.

On the way home I struggled with some messy takeout.

The new bike is awesome. With better gearing and geometry, my ride is at least 1/3 faster. It is great. Once the wheels are all setup, I think I'll ride more. So much more enjoyable than on the old bike!
