Cool thread. I've been commuting since early april at least 3 days a week. I find that the days I bike in the ride is so much more relaxing than in the car. Just seems to me like the Jerks out there don't bother me as much when i'm on the bike. Its a 3.5 mile commute each way so says Google Maps, all flat ground with bike lanes and large shoulders on all the roads. Takes me around 25 minutes give or take... i don't try for any land speed records lest i sweat through all my clothes before i get to work.
Today was beautiful, nice and cool air no humidity... I'm really looking forward to the ride home starting right about....NOW.
