If I'm riding, it's pretty much a joy to be riding.
My LHT logged about 1800 mi last year, almost all of them commuting. I have an Al framed Roubaix that is lighter and more nimble, but the LHT is reliable and very comfortable....which makes it a joy to ride. I put on Kool Stop pads and a comfy saddle, but other than that, I just ride it and enjoy the journey.
