So, I know I've been off the boards... with good reasons. Kind of. An injury. Too much work. Too much work travel. Moving into a new office (same job, just new location).

And now that I am in this new building, I'm close enough to work that I can ride my bike. I don't know how far it is, but it's not more than a couple of miles. I probably could have ridden in my old building too, but I just didn't take the time to do it. But being this close, I have no excuse.

I've already staked out the bicycle rack in the building (although I'm considering bringing my bike with me to my office -- suggestions?).

I also need to get it maintained, so I'm going to take it to the LBS to do it -- hopefully this afternoon.

I'm nervous. This is the downtown area of my city and as you can imagine, traffic is horrendous in the morning and afternoon. And I do NOT live in a bicycle friendly city... so this is definitely an adventure.
