Current commute is a lovely ride, for the most part on country roads without too much traffic. Great for waking me up in the morning, and getting my head off work coming home. Trying to commute by bike as much as possible, though I'll take the car when I have appointments I've got to get to, or when I think it's too dangerous (like road is too slippery to trust the cars).
I'm a physical-organic chemist, and have worked for a long time in the development of new polymers for paints and coatings. Married, and have two daughters.
