I don't mind riding at night but my schedule is such that I couldn't make it a regular thing. Help!!
Mornings are coolest but it's cooler riding than walking. I did my 5.9 mile commute home in 22.33 minutes tonight with the temp in the 90s. I've been commuting for two months and it just keeps getting better when we don't have the thunder storms.
