Bikeaway,
I don't know how long I'll commute. I actually drive to work and drop the munchkin off at dc. Then drive home for lunch, let the doggies out and ride back. Then I bike to dc to get the little guy on the way home. This time of year we can get a 20-30degree swing in temp from early morning to the day time temp so it's hard to dress the little one for that. I'd like to commute at least until the snow flies and maybe I'll add the first round trip as well, as I get better organized and the little guy gets used to the chariot ride!

Thanks for the dressing tips everyone. I HATE riding bike with my jeans on! I think I'm going to switch to sweats so I can move. I am also having problems with my fashionable wide leg jeans getting caught up on my cage Good thing I have my road id and a leg band!

And does anyone have a problem taking a "leisurely" commute? I keep finding myself trying to beat my last time - what a dork!
