I'm Baaaccckkk!!!
After a few great years of cyclo-commuting, I went back on my car because of a lady co-worker friend who asked me to carpool with her. During that time, my main commuter bike got stolen! 
A bike that I built thanks to the many contributing members of this fine forum. While I did purchase another bike, I never got back to commuting via my bike. Something about HOV lanes, hot coffee, auto-climate control, blah blah blah. Ended being a recreational rider instead. Still fun but nothing beats riding with a purpose.
My recent job change in the summer now allows me to return to cyclo-commuting. I'm so happy! I missed the simple freedom of hopping on my bicycle with a sling bag and off I go. Having said that the distance is only 1km.
Oh well.
I'll be around more hopefully!

"the distance is only 1km" A journey of a thousand miles begins with...oh, we're here.

well dang I'd probably just walk that rather than messing around with a bike.
I know. I do walk most of the time especially on rainy days.
