A bit of description of your route profile.
16 miles (25Km) each way, Urban/Suburban/Office-park, 1000 feet of climbing
Basically from Baltimore city center to the BWI airport area.
Bikely link.
What kind of bike you ride. (photos would be cool)
ANT club racer. Campy mechs, brooks seat, custom rear rack, 25mm conti gatorskins (absolutely necessary for Baltimore's horrific road conditions), princeton tec front light, planet bike blinky rear.
How you carry your gear and what or how much (volume) stuff you bring on the ride.
I use a backpack to carry bib shorts, clothing, lunch. I've been trying to fit that all on the rear rack but it is challenging. I am thinking of using a front randonneur bag for wallet/keys/phone/lunch and putting the clothes on the rear rack bungied and inside plastic bag. I hate carrying my laptop but sometimes I have to do it.
Distance & time (average speed if you care to share)
Hour-ish. I deliberately don't put on the cateye because then I would end up "competing with myself" during the commute. I sometimes do a shorter 10 mile route, but the 16 miler is a little more safe and scenic and includes one ball-buster hill that I enjoy everyday (Gunn rd).
How long you've been doing this and any thoughts you have toward the future of your commuting.
Since last September. Part of the reason why I changed jobs is so I could bike to work. I would like to get more brave about doing this in bad weather. I feel that drivers are more distracted when there's precipitation and that makes me nervous.
