Well, I have been reading these discussions for a couple of weeks, it's good for inspiration! I live in Colorado (the flat part...!)
I am almost totally a commuter. I have been riding to work for about 7 years. It's such a short ride that it almost doesn't count as excersize! But, hey, at least I'm not using fossil fuels! I guess I'm considered "militant" by some people. I believe that bicyclig should be encouraged as legit transportation (through better protection, facilities, etc.)
My bike isn't really noteworthy, it's an old squeaky mountain bike... I also have a nice one that mostly lives in the garage (that's just not right is it!) for recreational rides (or when the commuter has a flat...)

WELCOME! There are some awesome sports to take that mountain bike on the trails in Colorado. Short rides to work are better than driving.

Hi! Thanks all!
DnvrFox, I live in Fort Collins. Pretty flat in town, we do have lots of hills to the west though, if you're into that!
