I have moved all my work to my terminal server and scan all my documents I use at home to my Email so I can print them, This eliminates my need to keep my laptop with me. I have stocked my lunchroom with food and keep my work cloths in my office. I have also rearranged my personal to give me the available hours I want to commute in. I should be able to commute without the need to load my bike up anything other than the basics. I will be on the road at 5:30 am in and 5:30 PM home. the commute is 11 miles each way to the park and ride where I will leave my pickup. I plan to evolve into the 17 mile ride each way in the future.

Sounds good as long as the "basics" include not only tools, patch kit, inner tube etc. and water, but also a little bit of food, a small first aid kit and perhaps some paper towels in a baggy and some moist towelettes in another baggy.
