Hello!

Hello everyone. I've been lurking for awhile and this is my first post. I've been commuting for a couple months now and just turned over 300 miles on the odometer this morning. My ride to/from work is about 8 miles each way on a combination of bike lane and bike path.

Bike Forums really is such a great resource. Thanks to everyone for all the great information that has helped me get into bike commuting.

Hello. This is also my first post. And today was my first time taking my bike to the train. I have it here with me in my office and it feels great.

I'll probably keep lurking for a while, but figured I'd say hi. Lotta great info and stories in here.

Commuting seems special for a while, I imagine. Then it seems normal. I end up driving 6 to 25 miles a week, and cycling over 30. Minimum. I'm getting to the point that I really do not like driving any more! You may find this addictive.

Have fun!
