It's finally bicycle time in the Midwest

After a really crappy winter with lots of cold weather, it's finally 2 wheel people powered time. My bike is in the repair shop (friend's house) but I'll be riding to work a few days a week here very soon. I'm not a hardcore cyclist, so I only ride when the weather is absolutely perfect.

I've only got a 2.2 mile commute, so I'm not going to be doing any serious cycling here. But I do look forward to some fresh air, some exercise, and a few dollars saved on gas. I currently fill up once a month as it is. I hope to stretch that to every 5 or 6 weeks. Not to mention, after a long winter, I could shed a few pounds.

No real point here. Just excited to start commuting by bicycle.
