on the way to work the weather was perfect, just a tad windy, everything went smoothly, only my 2nd time commuting and the route is great, beat my first time by about 4 mins, so I was very happy with that...only almost got killed by one semi who almost merged into my face with the back of his trailer.

The ride home was nice as well, but there was a pretty killer wind (25mph with very strong gusts) coming from the SW...exactly the direction I was going. Even with the headwind, it was fun and I think I'm hooked. For now anyway, I'm going to just be a fairweather commuter, that may change. I enjoy it so much I think I'd like it better than the car even with the rain.

Seriously, something about bike commuting tastes like freedom. I was describing it to a friend who was interested, and I was listing the pros and cons...only there really aren't any cons. I need to order some rain gear!
