Oh yeah, absolutely. How was your experience taking the bike on the commutter rail?

I picked up my new bike from REI last night and was going to ride it to work today, but was too tired to set it up. I didn't push on it because the wife wanted me to carpool with her and take the car back, as she's going into the city in the afternoon. Car thermometer said 41 at 6:30am so it wasn't that bad... but it's dropping and will be below freezing for the evening commute. I did see quite a few people on bikes this morning.
My new bike, the ADV 3.1, will be used for mixed terrain and general 'workhorse' activities like commuting, kid hauling, etc. Can't wait to take it out on some shakedown rides, the cold isn't pleasant but I'll be well prepared
