Congratulations. Enjoy it.

I have one additional suggestion - actually pay yourself the money you
would have spent on transportation. Once a week or so put the money
you saved into a separate bank account, let it accrue for a while and
spend it on bike stuff, especially splurges you might not otherwise
spring for. I've been doing that for 10 years and the money I would
have spent on parking and the Metro bought me a new Ti commuting bike.

You either have a very economical car, or else gas is very cheap where
you live. I reckon that I save about $5 per week in gas with my
50-mile-per-week commute.
