First half commute (other half tonight). Nice pleasant 3 mile spin, with a modest hill along the way. Reasonably warm and sunny, and there was a nice break in the traffic just as I had to cross 3 lanes of 50+ MPH traffic. (I plan on normally just using the crosswalk at that point.) Had to figure out how to lock a bike once I got to work, but it wasn't too bad. Happily, the LBS had explained to me what to do. Hope I can manage to fumble around in the dark with the lock and putting my lights on tonight without too much trouble.
