Hallo everyone!

I'm living in Glasgow, Scotland and commuting the 6 or so miles (that's 10k or so for you metric-philes..) each way to work on my Specialized hybrid. Would have a road bike, only the road (Great Western Road-some of you might know it) isn't all that smooth in places...Have commuted on and off for 7 years, but this is definitely the longest commute, with the most traffic lights..Have been using the site lately to get some info. on waterproof panniers, and it's been all very useful. Thanks! BTW, despite my moniker, I'm another girly-biker.

Welcome! Which model and year is our specialized? I have an A-1. 27 speeds, front shock, and a seat that is cushioned. The last part is important.

Hi & thanks for the welcome.

Expedition 2001. No front shocks: don't want to be slowed down more than I have to be! And nice body geometry gel saddle with Minkow wedge, which I'd recommend to anyone..Have 27 gears too, and make use of every last one-have an unforgiving hill to climb, which I struggle up at the rate of a humbling 8K/hr.
