I am considering starting to bike to work the one day a week I don't have somewhere to go directly afterwards (and it isn't safe to park my bike there) - though for now would likely take the bus home (they have bike racks here). I will likely just bring clothes to the office the day before as I do not have racks just yet - and want to get more comfortable with my LHT before I start adding weight to him. It makes sense that adding weight to the back would change the way he handles.

Hopefully NEXT weekend can test the route - I need to do that before taking the plunge. My boss is allowing me to park my bike in my office We DO have a bike rack outside the City-County building where I work - but it is isolated and I have never seen a nice bike parked there. Much easier to put it in my office for the day!
