Another b-e-a-u-tiful commute here too. And, as an added bonus, I met another commuter this morning. He was even going my way! We chatted waiting for a light, then we both took off. Different riding styles for us though--I ride an mtb, he was on a roadie; I take the lane for parts of the stretch we did together, while he rode the fog line; I stop at red lights and (generally) wait in line with traffic, he stopped at the red and went when it was clear. Still it was very cool to ride with someone for a little bit.
