markeatmark, what setup do you have and how does it fare in the rain? I just rode 12 miles on my standard commute bike and was daydreaming of my new setup. Can they handle the rain? Chips |

Work!?!? What is this work thing you speak of? *sigh* I am now starting my second week of unemployment. I'm bored and there are no jobs to be had! It is also too freaking hot outside to go riding! 
BTW Unior you have got to love Lancaster County! Where else could you find a town named "Intercourse" that is located half way between "Blue Ball" and "Paradise" and isn't all that far from "Bird-in-Hand"?

I usually work between 2 and 20 miles from home, depending on the day. But if it is nice weather I'll ride my MB. Save some money and miles on my car.
Sometimes I get caught out it the rain though. I rode through some pretty heavy downpour today. Ick. At least my bike doesn't care about getting wet  |

I will be riding my bike more to work now that I got it the way I want it mostly. I'm having problems with a front light, may have to check out Norman's light. I had it working but I must have shorted the resistors again, maybe need to use a regulator. My tail light is fine, but anyway, back to the riding. I commute 14 miles one way to work, with a couple small hills in there. |

I put another 60 miles at least on mine today. I love being able to put around all day on less than $1 of gas. |

I did my 30+ mile round trip for work today. It only takes about 10 minutes longer each way than my car (40 minutes vs. 30 minutes). | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
