Nice photo Becky.
this morning as we were getting ready to leave for work, DH misunderstood me and got huffy. "See you tonight" he said. Well, i left right behind him and sure enough, he had calmed down and was waiting for me on his bike behind the house. We rode together quietly and parted friends once more.I like Bikes - Mimi

I think DH would be tickled pink if he could find a job where he and I could bike commute into town together.
I just don't think I'd be able to convince him to get up and out the door at the early hour I do....and I leave late compared to others I know!

DH and I enjoy being able to commute together. It makes some of the sketchier parts just a little safer. Safety in numbers and more eyes are both good things.
(Though I nearly got nailed this morning. A guy in a truck decided to roll a stop to make a right turn behind DH, and never looked to his left to see me there. I dunno how he missed me- my headlight looks like something from a motorcycle.)

Hey ladies! I just saw this thread and thought I'd pop in and say hi! I've been commuting 3 days a week ever since I got my trusty Surly Cross Check. (Best commuting bike ever!!)
It's 13 miles one way, 6 miles on the bike path, 6 miles on a quietish 35mph street with bike lane, and 1.5 miles through bikelaneless BMW-jerkwad hell.
I do consider myself lucky that it's only 1.5 miles. I don't think I'd be able to handle the commute otherwise.
This morning was the first time I felt really really cold, although my definition of really cold is totally wimpy and cheating since I'm in Arizona. I'll be heading to REI this week to stock up on some warmer layers, for sure.
Even though it takes me an hour to get to work, I like it so much better than the 25 minutes I spend in the car. Totally worth it!
Enjoy your commutes, people!
