Anyone in to biking?

Slick MTB tires will still weigh more than road tires, and thus be harder to accelerate and to maintain speed on. The wheels are bigger and heavier, too. The more rotating weight you have, the harder it is to go fast. Not saying you can't do it, just that you're working harder if you do.

Bikes are bikes...it all comes down to personal preference. It looks like a great commuter, even if it's gonna crack and fall apart and it weighs 65 pounds. <<<sarcasm

If I could commute by bike I'd be sporting something like this...slick tires, light weight, steel frame, basic single speed no frills transportation...and if you're mechanically inclined you can find them at yard sales for 10 bucks in stock form and spend a few hours and a few more bucks converting them to SS...
