Any bike commuters?

Apparently half the people in this thread do not read well.:rofl:

That is actually something I'd more than likely do. There is a little town half way, leaving me with 7 miles to ride. :gj:

I don't know what you do for a living, or if you have access to showers at work or stuff like that, but you can build up a pretty nice sweat on a ride like that (especially if you're running late). I guess it depends on how much riding you're already used to, and definitly on the bike. I personally would never ride one of those 10 speed bikes, I don't want to be that guy who people have to slow down to pass or almost hit while driving down the highway. Which also brings up the issue of riding terrain. I love my mountain bike and stay on trails whenever possible.

I've read a lot of bike commuter sites, and pretty much have to agree that bikes are allowed on the road just as much as cars. ;)

There isn't a way to work without going on a long country road, so it's pretty much a road bike, or converted cheap mountain bike (with road wheels, fender and rack for me.) :)

As for the shower sweat thing, got that one figured out too. Those commuter sites are full of tips and tricks, and I do have a shower at work if I wanted to use it. :D
