I did my first commute today. I have a Karate Monkey on the way to build into a commuter, but couldn't wait to get started, so I put 60 lbs in the mtb tires, trued the rims a bit so the brakes would stop rubbing (it's a bike I use to practice trials stuff on and gets a lot of abuse), and did the 20 imles rt.

About 45 minutes each way...about the same as taking the bus in the morning. Faster than the bus in the evening.

The last part to work is all downhill/flat, so I arrived fairly cooled off. I was pretty sweaty when I got home though.

All in all, a good first commute.
