I made my first commute today. I wasn't going to but the weather was just right. I got my bike last night and before that I haven't ridden except for once for 3 days while my truck was broken down I just borrowed my friends old bike.

I left at 6:35 this morning and it's down hill the whole way to work and I had a tailwind the whole mile and a half. I was to nervous to ride on any streets without shoulders since I got it last nite rode about 5 miles and that was it. I just rode around where I live so their wasn't a lot of cars. I take an hour lunch so I rode next door and ate in about 15 minutes and rode around practiced emergency braking and played around a bit. The ride home was of course uphill with a headwind. Still made the trip in 15 minutes though and didn't have to walk the bike at all. I won't be able to ride to work again until at least tuesday since it's supposed to rain but at least I know I can do it.
