Just wanted to say thanks! I have been reading this forum for a while now, but I have never posted. I just wanted all of you to know that you have totally inspired me to start commuting, which is definitely a challenge in Houston!

I have been planning a route for about a week now, and my husband and I are planning to ride it this weekend to test it out. If all goes well, I will start commuting next week. Initially I will only start out on Tuesdays and Thursdays because the commute is 20 miles each way (on my mountain bike). I have all the gear I need, hopefully...so, I just need to start riding.

There is a cabinet at work that I have designated as mine, for all my gear during the day and stuff that I need to get ready. I also have really short hair, so getting ready in the bathroom won't be too bad...I think it will just be one of those learn as you go adventures!
