+1 I also notice a little more traffic on the way back. However, I'm "cheating" by doing a park and ride for the winter. I used to ride from home a few days a week summer and fall, but prefer the extra daylight for that. This morning was a cold one. Was about 11F for me with numb toes (with two pair wool socks, shoes, and shoe covers). But on the bright side it will be 28F later today. Woohoo!
