Hi all.
My name is Joel and I am currently living and working in Melbourne, Autralia.

I am originally from London UK and found the forums while looking for a commuter bike as I feel a little guilty driving with just me in the car as my girlfriend has changed jobs. (She used to work near me.)

Last weekend I made my choice and put a deposit on an 06 Kona Dr Dew which was in the sales.
Can't wait to get my hands on her!

Cheers.

JOL

The weather is marginally better in Melbourne than London at any rate. Whereabouts are you planning on commuting to and from?

Hi.

I'd imagine the weather in London is MUCH better at the moment.
I just checked the LDN forecasts and you're set for a 30 degree weekend!

It is freezing here atm.

As for my commute I dont know in K's or miles but in the car it takes about 25 mins. This will probably be similar by bike. I kind of wish it was longer but it'll do for a start.

Cheers.

Definitely warming up here. 30 is nothing. Wait 'til it hits 40 in Melbourne next summer.
