Congratulations!

I know when I did my first bike commute I was pretty self-conscious about my skills. It definitely gets better with experience . . . it took me a little while to find a route that I was comfortable with, that worked for my fitness level when I was starting out.

I learned a lot from watching other bike commuters, going to local talks about safe bike commuting (we have some really active advocacy groups out here), and also just reading about others' experiences on this forum.

Happy commuting!
