I DID IT!!! I returned to bike comuting
I struggled and struggled trying to get my act together...but today I was able to muster the energy to get out of bed early and ride to work. It has been a long hiatus but im glad im back. Interestingly enough, Im so glad I don't have to deal with my car breaking down as the poor folks in this case;

Great!
Now join us over on BikeJournal.com in the Commuter Cycling Century Challenge. Three-season riders need only three commutes a week to make their hundred for the year. Watching their standings in the challenge gives many members that little extra incentive to ride. It may help you too.
There's a guy in Ottawa who's already one ahead of you. Get crackin'!

Congrats, I started commuting by bike within the past month also -- more so now that the rainy season is coming to an end.
For a sec I thought you had a Point Reyes like my room mate and then I saw the adjustable stem and suspension seat post. How do you like the Fairfax?
The Point Reyes is pretty sweet -- feels slower than my Trek FX, but the ride is cushier.

My first commute of the season felt great too, I kind of felt like Jimmy Stewart in It's a Wonderful Life when he gets his old life back and walks through Bedford Falls to get home.

Im still keeping it up. I almost broke today as I was tired....but I endured. I broke out my Pashley and rode to work in regular clothing, moving very slowly
