i had my first commute to school yesterday, i've been wanting to ride to school for a while but last quarter i had all night classes and we usually don't get out til 9 or 10pm and the roads home arent very bike friendly at night so i'm hesitant. but i have a friday morning class so I'm able to ride to that. its a good ride, about 12.5 miles from my apartment. SOME nice roads, others are fairly bumpy and have no remorse about shaking the crap out of my '70's panasonic sport 500. when i got home from class i had to tighten things up aound my headset and a couple other places cuz they had been shakin loose. only had one loud mouth share his opinion about cyclists which i just ignored. all in all it was a good ride in. i'm lookin forward to next week.
