My 51st commute of the year in Seattle and the *first* one with shorts, short-sleeve jersey and no knee warmers, arm warmers, spare jacket on the rack, etc. Predicted high: 85 degrees.

*and* it was Bike to Work day, with stations set up all over town offering free coffee, snacks, water, etc. My office building even put out free pastries and coffee outside the biker showers.

Zillions of bikers out today -- with all the newbies out, the first day of the year when I passed more people than passed me!
