Hello. I started commuting two weeks ago and I've really enjoyed it. It's only 2 miles one way. Somedays I even ride home and back during my one hour lunch. I almost wish it was farther.

I'm riding a hardtail MTB. I'm glad to have some suspension since about a third of the streets I ride are being repaved and are all torn up right now. I've equipped it with lights from and rear since it gets dark on the way home.

I live in the San Fernando Valley, outside L.A. It was pretty scary to start riding in the streets. I have to take busy streets because that's the only way to get o my work, but I'm getting used to it.

Just wanted to say hello!
