    Today I took BlueBell (my Trek Pure lowstep) on her first foray to the office.

    I learned a few things.
    --Not sure about the front basket. Made the steering a little wonky. We'll see how I feel on that tonight or tomorrow.
    --I cannot hike her up and down stairs at my apartment, especially with a full basket. So, she will stay locked up outside (still pondering a BF Model T Tikit).
    --I only live a mile from work in a university community, and with the students having graduated and gone home, this was the perfect day to start commuting.
    --As it heats up (this morning was upper 30s-lower 40s and that will be a distant memory soon) I'll have to have better plans in terms of sweat management. Even today I was sweating.
    --Sweaty hands mean I need to wear my gloves, even for such a short trip!
    --Helmet head wasn't much of an issue as I don't blow dry my hair anyway and the trip was so short.
    --I got to work fast and it was fun!
    --If I keep riding her, def need to get fenders. (this is where I need to decide if going for BF Tikit or not)
