abosofreakinlutely! :-) my commute just got way short - 3.5 miles or there-a-bouts so I've been riding to work anyway but trying to sprint it out of the saddle most of the way including on the flats but I wish I had a higher 'high' gear. I'll tell ya, in that 15 minutes of pure exhilaration, I completely forget about all my stressors. only one thing finds it way back through, and she is beautiful
