[QUOTE=Gus Riley]I thought it would be interesting to have a thread where commuters might post the results of their daily commute.

Another beautiful, warm day in Seattle. I work downtown and live in Burien just south of Seattle. The ride is 12 miles door to door. It is a pleasant ride at any time, but especially in summer. The only bad part is going through Rat City in the early morning hours, where I frequently encounter gangs trolling the streets. But so far they have never done anything except give me the evil eye, and I blow through Rat City in about three minutes. After work, I cruise around the downtown area for an hour or more and hit book stores or Bud's Jazz Records, then find somewhere to have dinner. It's really great being loose in town with my bike! Today, as on most days in spring and summer, I had a nice tail wind to assist me going home and made it in 40 minutes, despite having a lot of long hills to climb.
