Hello!

I've been reading this forum for many months and I thought I'd join after some nice commuter threads.

I hate cars. HATE.

...mine is 11 years old and I plan on putting antique plates on it, in VA that's 20 years ...I think.

I'd say I'm car-lite ...last month I spent $20 on fuel, a good month though. I'd say $40 is more normal for me

Anyways, this is a very nice Bike forum ...I hope to contribute!

If you don't do single speed or fixie ...I don't care! If you hate gears ....I don't care!

Peace to whatever bike you ride!

Anyone here from the RIC?

I have a 2004 Giant Cypress converted to a commuter, I ditched the suspension fork and added some panniers and fenders. It still needs some work, lights etc. I also have a 2010 Jamis Sputnik, it rides great.

a_ho, I'm a VCU alumni, did you move down for VCU or UR (or other)?

VCU is how I got into bikes, I love the Fan. It's a nice place to live and bike.

I just transferred to VCU. My first semester here.

Still not to familiar with the surrounding.
