I keep planning to, now that the daylight is here earlier. My commute is 10 miles each way, very scenic but some biggish hills. For instance, my bike club uses them for hill practice. My only concern is showering before actually changing. we have a little hazmat shower in the basement. THAT will take some chutzpah to use. I just have to work myself up to dealing with all of the commentary I'm sure to hear. I used to bike evrywhere when I lived in town. The rural area is so beautiful, but more of a challenge to commute in. I bow to you real, committed commuters and plan to join you soon.
And no Annie, i don't think you are a wuss for not riding in lightning. My first rule is that biking is my fun and lightning is not fun, unless you're under a porch roof!
