Anyone Riding To Work Rain Or Shine?

We have four drivers and four cars in our household. Daughter's car is up for sale, has no insurance and sits idle. My van is in the repair shop since Monday. Son goes to visit his dog in quarantine or goes surfing, work and school. Daughter drove to bf's house, won't be back till Monday morning. Wife relies on son for errands.

I have THREE bikes to use and almost my entire life is within a 7-mile radius.

I do not need to share my bikes.

All this is beginning to make sense.

Dude. Not cold? I ride up Central Oahu between Wahiawa and Whitmore. The WCF can bring it down in the 40's on some mornings. Dang! I gotta double up with a jacket and a rain coat I found at Walmart. Of course it doesn't help that I always wear shorts, rain or shine.

Btw, I use a moped/scooter or my old Fuji mountain/city bike for my short ride to work. Just found out I'll be getting a sizeable tax return and will be using a small portion to build my first motorized bike. I still like the idea of electric, but isn't looking like a practical option right now. I'm going with the biggest 2 stroke I can find and a shift kit.

Not cold, dude. I ride in the land of asphalt near Aloha Stadium, which keeps temps between the 70's and 80's.

Choose your engine well, grouchyolfart. You have the longest hill on Oahu, the one from Wahiawa to Haleiwa on the North Shore. Must be several miles uphill.

You should consider disc brakes because vee brakes might not last long on that downhill ride.

I would love to ride my bike from Wahiawa to Haleiwa, past Pipeline, Waimea Bay, then have lunch at the Kahuku shrimp wagons.

Then ride back to Wahiawa.

That's a 35-mile round trip with awesome scenery!
