Hey all -- started bike commuting this summer, now it's in my blood! I've only got an 11-mile round trip (all trail, except for 9 blocks of street) I'm commuting on a 1980s Schwinn Traveler road bike-- nothing fancy, but I love it since that's the only bike I have. Should I buy new? Will I notice a huge difference in today's new bikes than on my 1980's 12-speed Traveler?

No, no difference. Really. :p Funny, funny! Welcome to the boards. Oh, and if you really want to get them riled up, post that in the Road Cycling section. You'll get responses for days! :D
