Congrats on your first bike commute and welcome to the forum.
Commute in this morn was uneventful. I've got a hill I always just downshift and spin up slowly, today I left it in gear and got out of my saddle and did it. It's over a mile into my commute so my legs have warmed up, I think I'll make it standard practice barring any ice or snow.
