Done it!

I've been wanting to commute for a while and I have been doing it for 3 days. I love it!

A good 30 minutes, two times a day.

I'm hooked!

I own a vintage steve bauer (pretty cheap, but gets the job done), but now, I know someone whos selling an Italian Miele with great components for 300$ (can), so I might upgrade already.

woo!

Good job.

The Miele should make a good commuter.

I think that Miele was (is?) a Canadian company that was founded by an Italian frame builder. By all accounts, they are nice bikes. A fellow named T-Mar here seems to know a bit about them.

Keep up the riding.
