1st Commute to Work
Today I was able to commute to work on the new bike. I loaded up my Timbuk2 bag with my work clothes and headed out. The commute is just about 6 miles and the ride is rolling hills. There are trails/bike lanes all the way to work. This morning was a bit cool, but tollerable. At work, the showers are new and there are plenty of lockers for use. The only issue I have with the facilities is that there is no sink/mirror, making it a bit awkward to shave.
The new bike was very comfortable. The wider tire base makes the bumps a bit easier to absorb. I really like the fact that the bike has the cyclo-cross brakes on the top bar. It makes it a lot easier to handle the bike when you have 20 lbs. of computer/clothes, etc. on your back.
