commuter courage

[nuthatch]

Yes, I forgot to mention that, too. No showers at my work but baby wipes & deoderant to the rescue and don't slow down and sniff when you pass my desk (not really!). I read somewhere (other forum I think) about a gal who has all her biking duds spread out under her desk to dry during the day and she was always hoping the boss didn't take a peek under there ! I also leave all my dress shoes under the desk - that cuts down on baggage. I just got a set of panniers and I'm anxious to try them out instead of the caboose bag and backpack this year. There are many discussions out there about how to avoid "helmet hair" at work and whether to apply make-up before or after your commute in. Ahh, so many logistics to being female!

If you opt for the traffic route, just please be sure and wear very bright clothing, even a reflective vest so people Know you're there. Let us know what you decide!!

Good thinking, CorsairMac! There's a guy who I follow some mornings with one of those IP "Screamin' Yellow" vests and, boy, is he visible. You can't be too visible!!
