I'm new, just found this website, and I'm excited to find a source of wisdom on bikes. I'm 53 and have been riding for about 5 years fairly seriously. Also I lived on a bike as a kid(Sears Flightliner). I've done the New York City 5-boro bike ride for the last three years, and am very interested in commuting . I ride one way to work(@13 miles) pretty often, and with gas prices probably never going down, I'm thinking about how I could possibly commute more of the time. I live in East Granby,CT, and commute to West Hartford, and my wife works in same building , so I have a ride home. My bike these days is an aluminum 24-speed LLBean hybrid made by a Canadian company (CCA?). It's a good bike but pretty heavy. Looking forward to talking with all of you.
