So, I started commuting by bike last week. I decided that I need to lose weight and with a change of diet this would be a perfect exercise regimen due to my schedule. The first day went well. I left waay to early and it only took me 15 minutes to get to work. It took me only 10 to get home. Its all uphill the way there and mostly downhill the way back. Not a steep grade but enough to let me know by the time I get to work. I plan on plotting out some more scenic routes that will take longer but give me a better workout and hopefully better scenery than good ol McLoughlin Blvd, car lot haven. That and I am saving a good deal of money on fuel.

Its great reading some of the threads on here and finding I am not alone in my biking commute.
