Trigirl- I ride at 5:00AM most mornings all year round. If you have a good headlight and a good blinking tail light under your seat, you should be able to do it. I don't ride in the rain because I am not set up to do it. Otherwise, you'll see me on the road!

Trigurl, I hope to join you in the commute club as soon as my daypack gets here! My only concern is a 1/2 mile stretch of bumpy cobblestones...anyone know if that could hurt my new Trek 1500WSD??? Do I need to bite the bullet and buy a mtn. bike?

Queen - it shouldn't, but you might flat on them. There would be increased wear on your wheels, but the bike itself should hold up just fine. I've ridden my Trek 1200 through 4 miles of mud after a rainy day on RAGBRAI last year. Just think, you'll be all trained up for Paris-Roubaix!

Thanks for relieving some of the worry, I've never had a nice bike before and this bike seems to weigh about a pound so (in my non-cyclist mind) it seems fragile.
