Thanks so much again, great site...wish I'd be around long enough for the ride tomorrow night! I really liked the article "Warm your heart when passing a gasoline station" on the commuting part of the site.

The bike shop was wonderful and the bike they gave me was brand new, never ridden (OCR2s this year, though.) I rode a great 30 miles, along the Monon trail and then getting lost on the way back to my hotel. My class ends early tomorrow so I'll get another good ride in before I have to take the bike back. Riding up 82nd to the trail was wild, though. I haven't had 'get on the sidewalk!!!' yelled at me so many times all year. Oh well, smile and wave, smile and wave.

I'm *so* thankful for your help, I wouldn't have found that bike shop without your suggestion and they were really wonderful. They gave me a map & ride suggestions, loaned me a spare pair of clipless pedals (oops), gave me an extra water bottle, 100% top-notch service. Renting the bike turned an otherwise boring business trip into a really fun adventure. It totally made my week.
