I quit driving to work. Bike commute!!

What gear have you added to yours. My rokform mount and case came in today as well as my saddle bag and some extras but still need to buy lights and mirror

FYI if you haven't seen the rokform mount is it a serious piece of equipment but man is the case nice and so is the mount.

 

Mine is more of a gravel grinder race bike that I also us on the street so I have a set of 28c slicks on the stock wheels for around town and a set of 42C knobbies for racing on WTB wheels. Upsized the rear rotor to 160mm from 140mm Easton seat post and Charge spoon saddle

 

If you can will you post pics of the 42's my lbs said I couldn't fit anything over 38 on mine

 

After 42 miles of gravel and mud in SC

 

Do you care if I show them these so they can order an extra set of wheels and tires for me

 

Wasn't there a thread on here about show off your bikes?

 

Turn this one into "Showoff Your Commuter Bike" LOL

 

I used to commute 20 miles one way was a great ride but I'm on call so sometimes I would come home about 3 o'clock in the morning had a few close calls with a couple of drunks. Raced Road and mnt bike's for 5 years would do 250 to 300 training miles a week but with all the texting and other things that people do instead of driving I gave up road riding and stick to mnt bikes. Stay alert and safe if you road ride.

 

Always posisble. But mines not even here yet. I won't get it until tomorrow.

 

I'm working graveyard for a week. I'm driving.

I've seen this here in CA.. an employer will require "reliable transportation" for possible new hires and bicycles are not included in that. Doesn't disqualify you per se, but those people are not really equal to those who have motor vehicle access in the eyes of HR.

People using public transportation to get to work have a similar issue, and are essentially on par with people using bicycles for work - generally unwanted because not deemed reliable.

 

People with 2016s might wanna take up this mode of commuting..................

 

shots have been fired

 

I ride my bike to job site where i park work truck so i bike 8 to 10 miles a day round trip lol

 

I'm returning some that have been fired at 2nd gens, lol......

 

I try to bike home from work once a week. It's a 22 mile commute. I'll get a ride to work the next day with wife or co-worker.

I have a 25-year old Bianchi Backstreet hybrid. Got the bike to ride in the http://rosaritoensenada.com/ingles/index.php bike ride in 1991. I'm signed up for the May ride.

 

My commute would be 60 mile round trip with no shower facilities at work so nah, I keep my riding recreational. It would be nice to be able to do it since I have 17 bikes to choose from but I probably would never want to ride one anywhere else if I was riding them to work.

 

No problem. I lied on the tires I thought they were 42s but they are 40c Ritchey speedmax comps

 

Not getting to pick up the bike today since its raining off and on all day. Going to go first thing in the morning. Also having to take my truck to the shop to get the remote start fixed. Third time in 2 years it stopped working

 

She so damn beautiful. Pics to come as soon as I get home
