I missed this comment, didn't see it till now. Since it was about my commute I'll still respond. If I lived in a warm climate with less drastic swings between daylight and dark I probably would bike year round. I know guys that do it here, but my old body just won't take it anymore. Not to mention, to ride a bike in the dark on slippery streets in heavy traffic you have to have a death wish. I rode my bike most of last summer. I loved it and really hope to be back on it soon, maybe this week. I don't know if this guy would be so happy to be out riding if it was in the dark with 30-50 kph wind and wind chills in the -30's C. It's still been freezing nearly every night here.

Anyway, enough of that. I think my skills are improving. Set a new personal best for myself this tank so I'm happy. I think this car really is at its best in city driving. Thanks again guys for the advice, it's helped a lot.
