Glad your commuting is working out.

My commute really improved last November when they finished a section of bike path. No cars for about 7 of the 9.5 mile commute. I've been riding 2-3 times a week this summer. I have to wash and blow dry my hair when I get to work, but I have a sink in my science classroom, so it works out ok. It takes about 10 minutes to get changed and get my hair under control
