Today was a great ride to work! I drove approximately 2/3 of the way to the office, then rode the last 14 miles. It took a little more than an hour, and I only got stopped at lights a handful of times.
Residential streets to bike lanes on major streets to the lakefront trail. There was heavy fog, but visibility was good enough to see about a block ahead.
Previous commutes were bike to train station (5-6 miles), then get off the train and use a Divvy bike for the last mile. I am hoping to build up the distance and ride the full commute a few times this year.
