I completed my first commute yesterday. 15 miles one way and loved every second of it- well almost every second. Brunswick is not all that Bike friendly and I have to share the road with logging trucks.
Its amazing how much more this town became "mine" as I rode through it. Things that I never would have noticed at mach 2 in my car seemed to pop up all over the place.
It threatened rain as I left work but I went anyway (determined to start) and it mercifully held for me. I'm sure that misery is in store for me later.

I listened to music and quite liked it. Ryan Bingham has a song that has a locomotive quality to it. I found myself repeatinig it over and over. "South side of heaven"-

I noticed that passing fast food joints left me feeling disgusted. The smell...ugh. I don't have that problem in my car or even on my motorcycle...

I'm compiliing a list of mods that I would like to complete on my bike- The first is a seat post with suspension, the second is to true the rear wheel and get better commuting tires. I'm sure it will grow.
