Hmmm front pannier. I wonder if it would interfere with my headlight (on flat bar)? Do you know what brand?

I have wanted;) a Specialized Vita for quite a while...may have to take the plunge!
I normally wear suits or dresses w/heels in a "business dress" environment (as opposed to "business formal" or "business casual"). I have commuted year round at a previous job and during good weather...
OK, thanks everyone. Y'all are very helpful.
SLC, Tuscon, Denver, Grand Junction, Fort Collins, Sacramento, East Bay/SF, and Las Vegas all sound like ideas.
And a third Puget Sound cyclist was hit Thursday and died Friday, with a fourth hit Friday morning (another hit/run). The one that died was not wearing a helmet (and was 70 years old) but still. ...
Thanks Knotted. I love a lot about Seattle but get gloomy from the weather. I grew up in Alabama so Seattle is too cold and wet.
I am a planner so it's not an immediate move. I also have to...
Yeah, I'd like to build something like that out west.
South Carolina (or anywhere east of the Rockies) is too far for me, due to elderly parents and other relatives on the West Coast.
So,...
So, kids are leaving the nest and mama bird wants to fly away too.
I'm looking for a town/city in the West where I can ride to work, shopping etc. Or where I could ride to the train station (I'm...
Mee too!
Thanks Possegirl for all this. I would like to join in, this time from the beginning and actually make some progress.

Excellent points, all. I do eat out quite a bit due to career and family and have learned to manage it. Never tempted to cheat.
Re: the Catholic Church...don't get me started. The Church as bad...
I saw one of these on my last commute home, which is on the Burke-Gilman trail (MUP). I laughed out loud! Looked cool! On that commute, I saw bikers, skaters, that thing, recumbants, walkers,...
That's great that you're back riding! And you cant possibly be slower than I am. But I'm sure you'll be back up to your speed in no time!
I know barely nothing about bikes, but I'm sad that your bike exploded but HAPPY that you have a new bike. I hope you have many hundreds of happy miles!
The problem with the celiac blood test is that it is not exact enough...or in other words, there are a lot of false negatives and you have to be eating gluten at the time. I, too, was mostly GF...
My 17yo DS is GF/DF and I am GF (although I am restricting GF replacement breads and starches right now to lose weight), so here are our favs.
Bread and Bagels: UDI's Another poster above said she...
Knot, you are my hero!
Roxy, I haven't kicked my weight issues (yet!) but I cannot believe how much healthier I am since I was diagnosed with celiac and started eating gluten free.
And I...
Sorry Cat. I'm (semi) commuting in Seattle area. Hope you find some kindred cyclers in Yakima.
Sounds like you have a great teacher and a supportive DH. Have fun!
I am in the Seattle area and can't go 150 feet without finding a hill. Seriously, they make me tremble. And I live on a freaking hill, so if I want to ride all the way home, I have to make it up...
Makes me wish my flab-reduction plan was working, as I'd love to be able to wear it. Maybe next summer.
Yes, but she has to wash my hair anyway and my stylist has been doing my hair for about six years. I don't think she minded. She's been so supportive of me, trying to find a style that works with...
Great commute today. Was too rushed in the a.m., so I had my teenager drive me to the express stop with the bike. On the way home, I took the bus to the early stop, then had a 10 mile ride to where...
Can't you stack the new rack on top of the existing rack, and then zip tie it on? Like nested or stacking chairs, one on top of another. Nothing will stick up that way. And then lash the rest to...
For my first time loading a bike on the Seattle-area Sound Transit bus, I was having a hard time and the nice (woman) driver came out to help me. I felt pretty stupid but she said that all the racks...
