One point here not mentioned.....Do you have any real experience bike communting?

I think not by your question. That said why spend $750 or more on an endevor that you
don't even know that you'll like or can do??

It would be better to find a used bike anyway (new bikes get stolen a LOT! ) to try this
idea on for size first. In the process you'll learn if you can,like to, commute by bike and what
it is YOU need on a commuter bike.

The truth is.....At this point you're so new to bike commuting that you don't what qustons
to ask yet. Give it some time.......on a good used bike.....even it it's the wrong bike!
