What's the story on banned at work?

As for your significant other, good luck it's a balancing act. Commuting is a good way, something I'm going to try because of the same situation you're in

I also bought some nice, very bright headlights. This is so I can ride safely and comfortably when everyone seems to do their own thing in the evening, or very early. Early morning rides are hard to get into but some of the best riding. As good as midsummer late night riding.
