Ok, I finally wait until it gets cold in WI to start communting, but I'm glad I bit the bullet. It's only 4 miles one way, and my first day was into a 20mph headwind. Ugh, I thought it would be a leisurely ride so I just wore my jeans and shirt but boy did I work up a sweat! My little guy wasn't too happy to have to ride in the trailer to daycare either but his little buddies thought it was pretty cool.

Does anyone else that has a short commute wear biking clothes or just work clothes? I hate to have to bring a change of clothes but maybe just a shirt would be ok. It definitely made me feel better about myself just getting that little bit of a ride in - much less sluglike, you know? My company is moving at the end of the year, so come spring it will be a 28 mile commute one way, which I'd like to do once or twice a week. The ride home will be directly west into the headwinds so it will be a killer workout!
