Wifey is 7months along with our first and she's slowing down. She works two train stops away from me so I've decided to drive in to shorten her commute. I'll prolly start up again once my paternity leave is up, but that's nearly 3 months from now. More than likely I'll do 5:45 A.M. rides with a local group to stave off the atrophy. Cycling to work for sure has it's ups and down, but it's been mostly positive and I've saved a ton on gas .
Congrats to you both. I actually got superfit during the last months of my wife's pregnancy. I was riding like a maniac everyday trying to cram as much cycling into it as I could. Keep that mobile phone charged, though!
