Started the bike-to-work plan today. Elston/Damen to 800-ish S. State in 31 minutes (about 6 miles). Not bad for a first ride, since I have to wait at some lights, slow down at a couple stop signs, etc. Once I get in biking shape, that will be about 25 minutes.
Plenty of light in the sky now, even leaving at 6am like I did. This should work great.
Elston is an excellent biking street. Should be a piece of cake to get down there timely.
