Thanks all, I feel a bit better there is a bike shop that just opened around me so I may pop in and look for a good mirror, a second head and tail light and vest. and price out slicks... anyone have a rough amount i will be spending on slicks? I work from 9:30 to 8pm so coming home won't be to bad, going to work will be interesting but which i will have to do some test runs to see how much time it take me to get there. I have a little extra weight to push around and haven't been riding much either which could be whats making em nervous as well... I do appreciate all the advise though.

someone asked for me to post my way to work http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united...dley/432403542 so here is the best way w/o highways.

If i can get though 120 pgs of reading a test and paper by tomorrow afternoon I will head out to the bike shop and maybe/hopefully get the gear i need and then head out to work..... lol may have to convince someone to pick me up when i get up there

cheers all
