My schedule is finally easing up a bit enough for me to sit and read through bike forums again. I've been riding pretty much every day and it has maintained my sanity and blood pressure as I've worked in two locations for the last 5 weeks averaging 14 hour days with only a couple of days off.

Things I've been thinking about on my daily commutes as of late-


#1- Folding bikes rock if you think you might need to grab a ride home in a friend's car. (- dalmore)
#2- When busy and stressed don't stress on the bike commute. Go real easy. Be happy you're riding at all no matter the pace or the distance.
#3- Folding bikes can move right along- this I knew but I'd forgotten.
#4- Nothing beats the feel of a good solid non-folding commuting bike for stability and all round speed and comfort.
#5- Biking as part of a commute can be very satisfying even if I don't get to do the round trip.

Rode in the rain yesterday. All urban streets ride. This commute route would have been a nightmare in a car. It was pleasure on the bike, a little slick in the rain, but a pleasure to not be stuck in the traffic.

congrats Wulfheir- but does this mean you won't ride for the rest of the year? will more riding mean getting ahead of yourself chronologically?
