How to ride my bike to work
It made me
tired but happy 
"Dodging potholes and bumblebees, it was more about time management (at 15 miles each way) than anything else."
How I did it: Given the length of the commute, I had to make sure I had good lights, a helmet (mine went missing in the last move) and fix the persistent slow-leak on my bike. Other than that, it was just making sure to allow enough time in the morning.
Lessons & tips: Choose a route that doesn't have too many hills or other potential dangers (or discouraging factors). Bring water, and a face cloth so that you can freshen up once you reach work.
