Roberta, Did anyone make a suggestion to develop a to-do/to-bring checklist? It took me a few months to develop a routine, gradually finding out what is needed for each trip and season. Your needs will vary. I have to remember my lights and to charge them the night before, my clothes, though I keep a set at my desk, water, bike tools, spare tube, lock and key, sun lotion, a magazine to read at lunch (and the bag lunch); we have to take our temperature at home before we can enter the office. Lots of things to remember. So, a list helps. Inevitably I will forget something. Just this week I forgot to bring a belt and now there's a new use for a bunch of Irish straps. Ken
