    Same as everybody else...
    I would love to commute by bike but my biggest fear is traffic. I would have to ride at least two country roads, no shoulders and barely 2 cars wide, to get to work. Driving those roads in a car can be risky, I'm just not sure I'm ready for biking it. It's about 12 miles from my door to my desk, today I did 21 miles so I'm sure physically I could do it.

    I am jealous of you guys that can bike to work. It must be nice not having to pay for gas and getting a good work out.

    I live in the center of my city and work at different fire station each day at work. I would love to ride to work but I have to take all of my gear with me and my day bag with bedding

    Next build will be gravel grinder cross type bike. I need a geared, lean, go fast bike sturdy enough for gravel, road imperfections & light offroad. There is a niche between my road bike and touring bike that has developed in my world and I want to fill it.
