I'm in my fifth week commuting now and everything has been going pretty good so far besides one flat tire and a snapped chain. I pretty much decided to join this forum to get some extra motivation on the rainy/snowy days when I don't really feel like riding. As for my commute today, it was pretty standard. Cloudy but no rain which was nice. I got to work a little faster than usual because I took the highway for part of the way (you can take a trail the whole way if you want, but some of it isn't paved). Anyways, hope everyone has good ride home today.
