I did it! I biked in to work! Well, it was only 2.6 miles of the trip, but I did it! After two years of "preparing," I'm finally bike commuting!

My legs held up, the drivers were courteous, the weather was perfect and the bungies and rack worked just like they should (that is, my backpack stayed on the bike). Oh yeah, and the bike is tucked away 20 feet from my desk with no comments from anyone yet. Which means that it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb
