New Commuter on Forum

Hi, I am a new on this Forum, especially in Commuting section (even registered on this forum many years ago). I have a relatively big gap of commuting (about last 6 years). I had commuting experience to work previously in some states, usually not for everyday: Michigan, Detroit Metro 18 ml x 2; Texas, Dallas Metro 21 ml x 2; Florida, Orlando 12 ml x 2; Oklahoma City Metro 15 ml x 2. I have a strong plan to start it again (Oklahoma City, 10 ml x 2).

Thank you. Yes, you correct. My Orlando' route in my album (I can't put it here for technical difficulty, only after 10 posts by regulation).

You should have no problem getting back into it...it's just like riding a bike.

Welcome back. Bike commuting has kept me healthy both physically and mentally, and bikeforums has kept me commuting, and in better, smarter, more enjoyable ways.

You can do this...go, Go GO!

I've bike-commuted a lot some years and not at all some other years. I am happier when I'm able to bike-commute at least some of the time. It's also medically proven to improve lifespan and healthspan.
