Hi all I am new to this forum. This is my first post! I have always tried to commute via bicycle as much as possible. I have been choosing to commute on my bike more often and further in distance lately. The added distance has made me reconsider my current bicycle. It has gotten me through many years- snow, rain, four different states, hit by a car. I really like it but it is a rather heavy bike and I am looking for something lightweight that I can travel many miles on with ease. Ideally what I want is something similar to a road bike (I have clipless pedals that I would use) but with the ability to accomodate racks or fenders if need be.

Does anybody has any commuter bike recommendations that seem to fit my description? Also, sorry if this questions has been asked before. If so, a link to that thread would be helpful. Thanks!
