Pay attention to Max's suggestions (and those of others to come in this thread) and I'm sure you'll have about every base covered. A couple days of commuting might also point up some things we miss.
Your first few days may be "heart-pounders" for a variety of reasons if you haven't ridden much or spent time in rush-hour traffic. Don't get discouraged, keep going through the early weeks and soon it will all seem normal...
Good luck and welcome to the club!
Thank you and I will. I have been planning this for several months now. I have given myself more than enough time to make the journey. I am sure that it will be difficult in the beginning. I have worked out my route pretty well and driven it many times by car. I have had plenty of negative people expressing there opinions on the subject but I have run into that on many subjects in my life. I am so looking forward to this as a way of life. 1 step at a time though & I will see what the cold weather will bring. I thank everyone here for creating such a great wealth of information. I have learned a great deal here
