Thanks phillyskyline!

noglider: You are right. I don't know that I would want to commute an farther than 2-3 miles on a stock Raleigh Sports or similar bike. They are more for relaxed cruising or short commutes. I plan to start commuting on mine, but I'm on a mission to lighten the thing up first. I'm hoping the wider tires and steel frame will make riding on our crappy roads a little less harsh.
