You picked a rough time to become a bike commuter. Good luck and I hope the car free commitment works.
This morning's 28F was a big change from yesterday's 50F (for both commutes). I dressed for it though and felt alright. For whatever reason my speed coming in was a bit faster than normal with an average of 16.8mph.
