You are welcome.
Yesterday's commute was a blast as I busted out the newly refitted road bike and whereas the previous day's commute was a 34 minute slog through rush hour where I got stopped at nearly every light, I covered the same route in under 20 without having to cough up a lung.
Not riding in rush hour makes a huge difference and when I compared Strava details my 34 minute commute had 8 minutes of waiting time and 26 minutes rolling while yesterday's commute showed the rolling time and travel time to be nearly the same. I also took the road and avoided the meat pylons on the MUP.
What I point out to prospective commuters is that, even my 34 minute commute is just as fast as driving...
