my only bit of advice on commuting is to keep in the back of your head that 99% of the time car drivers and pedestrian UNDER-estimate your speed and will either cut you off or jump in front of you. i was going straight through a green light at about 30 km/hr, and hour, when a someone trying to make a left turn decided to try and cut in front of me. Had i not waved at him (he changed his mind at the last second), i would have collided with him for sure...and almost every commute a pedestrian would cross the road in front of me. So be prepared to stop...
