hello all,
i started commuting two weeks ago. after reading about commuitng in "dirt rag" and riding to work on a couple of saturdays i couldn't contain myself any longer. the thought of getting in an hour and a half on my bike a day was like a dream.
i finally fell back on the quoat " do the thing you fear and death of that fear is certain." my fear was not of riding my bike but of being run over. i have a problem with getting run over. go figure. i feel great about commuting now. i work for a major computer corp. (in Austin) my building can hold 2500 people or so. we have about 15 "crank case' bike lockes at each entrance to the building (4) and my bike is the only one i've ever seen using one. maybe i'm encouraging others to try commuting by doing it myself. i'll let yall know if i see other commuters this month.

keep your blaze orange on and your batteries fresh,
Cael
