Finally started bike commuting. My bike, which still remains nameless but I might call it Bertha because the thing is HEAVY when I have anything in those panniers. Heavy isn't an issue for my short commute, it's living on the second floor that sucks.
I commuted today and yesterday. It's fun and is so short it almost can't be called exercise. The commute there is 1.4 miles all on a hardly noticeable downgrade. However, coming home I feel it badly...yes, I'm THAT out of shape.
