From this point on very little will change on my daily commutes since summer weather in Athens is usually very predictable... heat, traffic, pollution, zombie pedestrians and car drivers, and did i...
Hmmm.... dangerous words my friend! :p
Loosely (re)translated you just said:
"thanks... sometimes it's nice to throw in a lite package and bomb with a 9kb bike!"
^^^^^ That's one sweet ride! ^^^^^
I used to live in one of those building directly ahead, but that was a long time ago!
My commute takes me along the southern coast of Athens; it's heavily populated, but I do get a chance to view the Saronic gulf.
A rather windy day a few months ago...
I've had a Catlike Urban helmet for a couple of years now with a built in blinkie/steady light (see below).
Can't say it's very bright, but I've been told by other cyclists that it did get their...
Unfortunately I have to avoid the beach in the photo since the crime rate has gone through the roof with tens of incidents reported daily; shame since it's across from my home. :(
On the brighter...
Kudos to both you and the bus company.
You sent an honest complaint without seeking a pound of flesh, and the company director took the time to check out the situation and acknowledged the mistake...
A bit hot and humid, but overall a pleasant commute to and from work. Decided to take the coastal route so I can soak up some sun and cool off with the sea breeze.

First things first... I totally agree with Tom!
Its late here in Athens (nearly 1 in the morning), and because I'm beat, I just can't quite grasp the setup with such long cranks and how it...
Agreed, but I have too many experiences from (wrongfully) tensioned spokes being pulled from rims, and although I can't seem to find anything on these rims, they're rather flat (not v-shaped) and are...
Damn those are long cranks! What's the clearance like when cornering?
I have to admit that going from 170 to 175 mm cranks, I did notice a significant difference, especially in hill climbing,...
Thank you Wilfred, I'll take them to my LBS and let him handle it; I'll just tell him to keep the spoke tension lower than what he usually dials-in since the rims (Alex R-1000 silver anodized alloys)...
Basically the wheels need a bit of truing since they both have some side-to-side play, with the rear wheel being the worst of the two and having to slightly spread the v-brakes so they didn't rub. ...
The wheels are properly dished, they just need truing since they weren't properly trued from the factory (machine built).
Hello everyone,
I recently purchased a Nexus-3 commuter with less than 100 miles and will need to true the wheels (was informed by the owner that they were slightly untrue from day 1). I've...
Congrats on your first commuting anniversary! :beer:

Congrats gabenham206, keep up the great work and keep posting!
BTW, it would be nice to add your first names in these post; makes it a little more friendlier!
Today's commute was FAST!
I've started to use my new(ish) Jamis Commuter 1 which is extremely light and agile compared to my uber-heavy touring bike and have shaved around 1/4 of the time I need to...
Tom, I wanted it to look nice too! But your nerf ball sponge gave me another idea which will work nicely... seriously!!!
Pool sponge tubes can be found at any sporting shop and are dirt cheap...
Hey Tom, we'll share the patents, right? :p

Seriously, this is probably best for touring or riding in a sub-urban environment, otherwise it becomes a hassle, especially when you want...
Installed the european version (40cm long) last year and after two rides a car ran into it, tearing it from it's base. The driver, a psychotic middle age woman actual stopped to check out if there...
After an incredibly stressful past week with little or no commuting by bike, I'm finally back on the saddle as of today! Thankfully a three day long migraine dulled down enough so I could cycle to...
