Hey Corsair, I did wise up - I was chafing at my "undie" line with the jeans so I opted for sweats, a biking jersey and sweatshirt (in the 50's today). I'm knocking on wood here folks, I've never had a flat, only dropped my chain once and - who, me - crash??? Not on the road baby, but off road it's part of the ride for me.

My office is very casual which is a big plus. I am nervous to wear biking short because sexual harassment abounds in my office and I don't want to give them extra ammo, and I wouldn't be comfortable at dc when all the other parents are coming in to pick their kids up too. If I need to wear them under my wind pants I can, but for now, I put a new saddle on and lost the jeans. I'm progressing by the day.

Today I also brought a camera. I think my little guy is ADORABLE in his helmet and shades and I'm dieing to get a picture!
