What do you think about the Michelins I picked out?
I am going to see how this year goes, I am not sure I am hardcore enough to ride in the rain so I may just get a little underseat fender but we will see; liking it so far!
I am lucky that I have flexible office hours - it would be tricky if I was punching a time clock. All things to consider if your employer is bike friendly
Check out this site for tire info - tires in the touring section would make excellent commuter tires if you want something durable.

Fenders are really good because you stay dry when pavement is wet but it's not raining. You'd be shocked at how wet you can get on a 40 min ride when it rained an hour prior.
