Extending the commute to avoid traffic allows for some half way decent views along the river. Spending 9 miles on a multi-use path while commuting in the morning is also great preparation for the day.

Hi Richard, bike rack has been here for a long time. I prefer something I can rest my bike against as the weight of the panniers means front wheel bike stands are not so good. Modern upright stands where you can rest a bike on and lock seem to be what is being installed more and more.
